What was the highest exploration value of a System you discovered?

I'm really new to the game and exploration. Most time I found systems with exploration value between 10.000- 300.000 Credits and not very often between 3 to 6 Mio.
Now I found a System with a value of almost 26M
so
What was the highest you ever found?
And what was the highest ever found by an explorer?

Today, my journey out of the Inner Orion Spur has begun.

My Caspian Explorer is ready, and equipped with a first-class cabin, I’m setting off with my crew on my first expedition out of the Inner Orion Spur into the unknown.

The journey is set to take me from Ohm City via Norma Expans, the Trojan Belt, and Newton’s Vault to Colonia, and from there, after meeting the Colonia engineers, back to Ohm City via the Neutron Highway. By the end, the journey will have covered a total distance of approximately 120,000 light-years.

The first jump is done

Questions concerning my first long range exploration and bioscience mission.

O7 Commanders,

I'm really new to Elite, starting in HIP 97950 I was able to gather a lot of money from bioscience to buy a Mandalay and made a first short exploring trip out of the bubble, (Lysoorb PM-C D6). With some lucky first footfalls I was able to afford a Caspian Explorer. Now with the Evacuation CG in Lhou Mans, I'm currently getting a lot of engineering materials to improve FSD and I'm trying to get a Guardian FSD Booster to prepare for a long ramge exploration.

Idea is to make exploration round-trip to "far far away" --> colonia --> bubble and collect as much bioscience and exploration data as possible.
But I'm uncertain if I should use the Caspian Explorer or the Mandalay for the trip.
The Caspian explorer would bring me faster into the unknown and can carry more repair stuff but on the other hand its a large ship so more difficult to land than the Mandalay.

What would you use and why?
And are there any sightseeing Spots I shouldn't miss, Systems that every explorer should have visited?
Anything I shouldn't forget to take with me on the trip?
