If this is a hint, why use inactive account so we doubt if image is real.
But if it's real image... Maia system?

Good question im thinking a DEV had a little too much "spiced Nog" and decided to throw out a bone via backdoor channels...
Lol, this forum is so highly strung for any type of info relating to the infamous 'There's something out there wink wink' DB line that it's no wonder that some might very well throw in pics, dubious or otherwise, just for a wee bit of fun. It's like throwing a Double-Cheese burger in the air at a weight-watchers convention, sitting back and seeing the fun develop

Well, we aren't shouting: "OMG, look it has horns! And there is a blue star! Low Gravity - is a false criteria!"
Right?

Just noticed, thanks
12 days and one year it is!
I managed to get 40 tonnes for the Antares CG before being fed up with the grind - and I had to leave anyway. Pretty disappointed as you just have to pop in a WS, fire up the limpets, leave the instance, come right back, rinse and repeat.
After my neutron farming in November, I discovered I can't put up with this ship anymore. Grinding and Farming are just not for me...A riddle in Smeaton's pen drive would have been so great. Hmpf.
Enjoy the gri- uh the ride!

Has anyone read Michael Brookes book "Elite: Legacy", released for Kindle on April 1st, 2015?

There's no need of a green nebula: if you go back some pages, you'll find a psychedelic green planet I found in Pleiades, With the main star Blue/greenish.
It was awesome!
Later Red Wizzard took a picture of it:

HIP 17692 A1
Yes, but in this pic the star itself is green.
Funnily enough, I was just in a green nebula, the Spirograph Nebula (tiny one-star nebula). Sadly, all I found was a surefire way to knock 50% hull integrity off my ship on a 2.2G planet.
Isn't that a B class star?
I can't remember how the star specifically appears but I think they give off ambient greenish light onto nearby planets?
I don't know if individual B class stars vary.

Yeah, definitely a wrong 'un - I reckon that's a blue star (yes, possibly Merope, but there are a good few million candidates) and that the whole pic's been pushed through a green filter to enhance the alienness of it.
The bottom slice of the barnacle is a direct lift from the video, mirrored, and then the rest is added on top.
The ambient lighting for the planet surface doesn't quite match the colour of the star for me. Although that could just be my tired, tired eyes
The shadow from the SRV is the wrong direction.
And I don't think in-game that the lights off the SRV have either that hue, or give that type of flaring.
It is a very good pic - but ultimately, as an addition to the barnacle mystery, utter bobbins.

I think its the only green nebula in the game, went there in beta twice after smashing into planet on my first landing
some pics with the star in the sky:

Just woke up (feeling the 3 bottles of red from yesterday) pulled the sleep from my eyes and then saw that pic, i nearly spat me teeth out.
Great work on debunking it LZ.
I've let the side down: only one (admittedly very good) red and a strong Porter; nearly fell asleep, then jumped into the game in the wee hours, after the rest of the Clan Zoltan conked out, to increase my fed rep. Now wanted in three systems. Oops!
Although the game kept insta-crashing for the first 45 minutes - I think the computer had a hangover too...
LMAO 3 systems sounds like a good night out.
Now i was on for a bit last night i also had a few insta-crashes first in about a year, i put it down to some sort of sli problem as im using sli for first time, but now im hearing others have had it happen so perhaps not.
Shame about the fake pic. I guess for some people the fun is stirring the pot of people who run away with things.
No running away with anything today though. Too full of food.
Just under a week to go on the Palin CG so hopefully developments in Maia soon after that.
