Make Some ISK, Expand Our Knoweldge
Based on some conversation in The Ninja Alliance, I'm offering two rewards, of 25M ISK each, for the following:
1) The longest hisec to hisec route, by number of hops. This does not include hisec 'islands' which require 0.0 or losec to access. It also must be the best-path route - the same type the autopilot would use.
TL;DR - What's the longest path you can plot in the autopilot from hisec to hisec without crossing 0.0 or lowsec?
2) What is the longest possible autopilot route in the entire game? All areas/regions allowed (0.0, lowsec). Best path-route.
Just to be clear, this does not mean "put every system into the autopilot". It's the route the AP will generate itself when given system A start and system B end.
Post your answers here - starting system, ending system, number of jumps. At the end of 1 week - Tuesday 21 Dec - I'll email the winner to get their in-game character for the prize. Make sure you include a valid email address when you post.

42 Jumps
longest route: 96 http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/QYZM-W:MVUO-F
Best I could come up with was Aldik (Metropolis) -> Moro (Khanid) 43 jumps. I found several that also equaled 43, but no luck going higher.
Serenity; Beat ya!
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/MVUO-F:SVB-RE - 97 jumps!
High Sec: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/2:Jorus:Bashyam 51 jumps (52 systems)
Null Sec: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/373Z-7:SVB-RE 99 jumps (100 systems)
Try beating this.
And other results with the same length (just for completeness):

Archentar posts only just appeared, wtf, shenanigans!
Some of these comments are getting caught by the over-aggressive moderation system and put into 'wait for approval mode'.
Fair enough.
