Not sure if its important/of interest but I visited 'The Nest' (System: Pyriveae FK-C d14-72) today and took a few pictures that show the updated planets at the noted coordinates to update the old photo (with the old moon surface) used in the EDSM entry.

Greetings CMDRs,

I'm now back from my 4 months exploration tour to Beagle Point (https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-ro...onia+-+Sagittarius+A+-+Beagle+Point+-+Maridal) and - maybe - I found 4 interesting POIs:

More Guardian Ruins

Hey guys,

I don't think I'm the first to discover this, but I was surprised to stumble on a system with 5 Guardian Ruins and it wasn't already on EDSM or this list I've been using.
However it is in the main Canon list.

Name: Skaudai Nebula Exiled Guardian Ruins
Game map search ref: Prua Phoe US-B d86 Planet C 2 and C 3
There are 5 sites across these two planets.

 

[Klepto]

New POI
POI Name: Kyloall Oddity
Galmap Ref: Kyloall BF-A f2322
Type: Planetary

Desc: "This unusual feature is a class-V gas giant located just 76 light seconds from a hot O-type star. Instead of being blown apart by the intense solar winds, the gas giant emits a blindingly white glow. Explorers who venture too close to the object will find their instruments in total white out. The object's apparent surface temperature of 9456 kelvin should easily cause the object to fly apart, as it lacks the mass needed to form even the smallest of stars. This object is similar to The Mysterious Light ; both are currently unexplained by modern science."

Noooo!!! From 3.0 patch notes: "Prevent extremely bright lighting for some gas giants"

 

[firmicute]

tbh I'd love to contribute, I have a little manual- like an analog little book where I##ve written down my M giant cluster, the twin dwarves, some fumaroles I found.
sadkly all your programs dont work with ps4.

I'm thinking about juts making up a google doc-sheet and just putting in whatever interesting stuff I find and dumping it somewhere- any interests?

 

[Steyla]

Name	Guardian of the Twins
Game map search ref	Byae Aowsy GR-N d6-52
Description	While I was on the Minerva Centaurus Expedition I found this system with a ringed Earth like world orbiting a binary Class III gas giant. The system also contains another Class III gas giant with moons. On one of those moons, 4 D A, I've found a fumarole site. This could be a nice waypoint for future expeditions. The coordinates of the fumarole site is: Lat: -67.9876 Lon: -103.2627

[OhPif]

Name	The Majorelle Blue Gate
GalMap Ref	Scheau Byoe BA-A G2052 (or Scheau Byoe BP-A e1323)
POI Type	Stellar Features
Description	During the Perseus Survey, I discovered a planetary nebula (Scheau Byoe BP-A e1323) which isn't really astonishing in this sector but in fact, the point of interrest of this planetary nebula is the black hole 13Ly away which is pretty rare. Indeed the Black Hole is close enough to reveal the beautiful deep blue gradient. It creates wonderful screenshots and can be a beacon in the area for future explorations.
Screenshots	Spoiler

NB : Majorelle Blue is a well-known painting color. Another thing ; I don't know if I have to mark this system as a Planetary Nebula POI and then tell there is a BH near it or as I did a Stellar Feature POI... Indeed if an explorer searchs the planetary nebula in EDSM it would be nice to know that there is the POI (in the case this POI is accepted of course !)

Update of POI

Name: Syrivou NC-D d12-7 Geysers
System: Syrivou NC-D d12-7

Went there today on my way to Beagle to check out the Geysers, sadly it seems 3.0 busted them (at least at the coordinates listed in the POI, the moon in general is still active according to system map). Was at the Coordinates +15.2019, +14.1096 and no Geysers to be found.

[Gombari Noah]

Name: Circulum Acies

Game Ref: Greeroi GG-H b29-0 ABC 3 a

Type: Minor POI's

Description: During the Beagle Point Expedition of 3304, exploration in the vicinity of Greeroi MD-Q d6-5 (Greeroi Depot) revealed a moon orbiting only 0.63Ls from it's ringed Gas Giant. It's position almost edge-on to the rings, and close to the Greeroi AA-A H3 nebula makes for a beautiful landing spot. The terrain is comprised of deep valleys and flat plains, making it suitable for exploration stopovers, SRV prospecting, and more challenging fighter-based explorations of the canyon floors. Signs of Major Water Geysers have been detected from orbit, but as of yet no exact location for these has been located.

[Sapyx]

As for Glowing White Giants, I have the following noted:
- Kyloall BF-A f2322, the "Great Glowing Ball of Kyloall", perhaps the most famous, not far from Jaques on the Colonia-Sag A line. The only one I have visited to date and can post screenshots of; some screenshots from myself and the discoverer can be seen in this thread posted by the discoverer.
- Gru Phio EL-Y e21
- Wrupu CW-N E6-68
- Fleasi MS-U e2-301

As for consideration of their inclusion: my main concern is about their permanence. The GWGs are, undoubtedly, a graphical glitch and may be corrected by FD in the future; there's certainly other odd stuff reported happening with planetary illumination in GWG systems (see my sixth picture in the thread I linked to above). The green ones might be considered graphical glitches by FD too, but it might be tricky to change those without completely altering the appearance of all gas giants everywhere.

Just confirming what Klepto posted above, and verifying my prophecy from nine months ago: all four of the Glowing White Giants I listed in that post I quoted above are now, since 3.0, perfectly normal-looking Class V giants (albeit with unusually high temperatures, but that's not really a map-worthy POI criterion). I would suggest that their POI pins now be deleted, as there's nothing really unusual to see there any more.

The GGGs remain unaltered and radioactively green. Since one of them now has a tourist beacon, I would assume FD have no intention of editing GGGs away.

Damn it FDev. Why must you take away things we like? :/

 

[Odengard]

Greetings CMDR here have some of my find during my last trip. Hoping i wrote comprehensible english...

Name: Pamplemousse
Game map search ref: Dryeou Flaae OM-W d1-4
Description: In the sparse zone of the Tenebris Region, Pamplemousse main star is a Yellow-Orange giant (more than 36 solar radius) star with two others K at proximity (less than 150ls) and a M companions stars.
Such a massive star is a rarity in such a desolate region and and it's a gorgeous view against the deep black sky of the galactic fringe. You can enjoy the scenery on one of landable planet, especially the nearest (653ls) one or just refuel on this gigantic scoopable star before venturing farther in the black.

Name: The Misty Moutains
Game map search ref: Bleethuia RL-Y d5
Description: The powerfull radiations of this White Dwarf near the 'Flying Flea' Nebula, melt occasionnaly the frozen crust of numerous Ice bodys causing seasonal and localised fog of stranges ionized composants. These mists are concentrated in the craters and canyons and could be thick enough to partially hide the nebula and the stars in the sky.
This phenomenon is particulary visible on BLEETHUIA RL-Y D AB 4 A, the first moon of the gas giant of the system, but it can be observed on almost every landable ice body.

Name : High Five !
Game map search ref: Eupaipy NY-Y d1-74
Description: This system in the Bleak Lands of the Scutum-Centaurus arm seem normal at first : a F star with some Y brown stars around. But every gas giant here are in fact Helium Rich Gas Giant, making a total of 5 of them on one system. It's not the record, but this system can help scientists to understand better the formation of such rares Gas Giants.
Everyone of them are ringed or have landable moon to a better observation of their variety (they come in red, brown and blue color).

For the Misty Moutains... It was before 3.0. So i don't know if the fog is still present with the planetary surface changes... Maybe so nearby CMDR can check ?

 

[marx]

Name: Seashell Nebula
Game map search ref: Dehoae AA-A h56
Description: This larger nebula can be found on the South-Western edge of the Orion-Cygnus arm, just before it fades into the Fallows. As it's only 500 ly off the galactic plane, stellar density is still high in the area, and Commanders can visit plenty of systems here.

Heads up, the fungus for Ravenfield Patch has disappeared too The POI is still there, but no fungus is present in the valley anymore.

I got a couple of new photos post-3.0 for some spaceports.

Eagle's Landing, after 3.0.

Sacaqawea Space Port, after 3.0.

 

[Hawkflight]

Name:	The Hemoglobin Nebula
GalMap Search Ref:	Byoomai UU-X e1-875
Description:	Initially discovered by CMDRs Redfox and Felina Hawk, this nebula gets its name from its color -- a brilliant cyan nebula with striking red splotches. Upon dropping from hyperspace at the system's central Neutron star, the nebula's colors are not immediately apparent. However, as one moves away from the central star, passing by three Class-Y stars, four Class III gas giants, and one Class II gas giant, the nebula's striking colors quickly become apparent. Most of the stars and gas giants are ringed, and all but one contain multiple landable moons.

Name:	The Scarred Planet*
GalMap Search Ref:	Byoomai UU-X e1-875
Description:	Initially discovered by CMDR Felina Hawk, this moon is located in the Hemoglobin Nebula, near the first orbiting body in the system. This planet is named for is singular striking feature -- deep gashes in the ground that reveal a deep red color, forming brilliant red canyons that mirror the surrounding nebula. These canyons are perfect for deep-canyon racing, or just taking in the nebula. Sensor scans indicate the presence of silicate vapor geysers; however, if they do exist, they have yet to be located.

*To my great embarrassment, I was unable to come up with a better name for this moon. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to suggest them to me, either here or via PM.

As of the latest Elite update, The Scarred Planet no longer has the striking features which made it a PoI originally. Therefore, I submit it for removal as a PoI, and removal of its mention in the Hemoglobin Nebula description.

I just noticed that there's a Jmanis Bridge route. Shouldn't that be renamed as well? (Although technically, it's not a POI.)
