Hi - I wonder if it would be possible to download a copy of the star database?
I am trying to see if I can find NGC32 in the game - we know the RA and Dec of the star but not it's distance.
I have a spreadsheet which can take ED co-ordinates and convert them to RA and Dec, and I would like to run that on the database, then sort by RA and Dec and see which is the nearest fit to NGC32, within about 500LY.

The reason for all of this is that friends bought a "name your star" certificate after my wife's dog died, and named the star after it. I said I'd try to visit it, and if it is procedurally named in EDSM, get it named the same as the certificate. The star is in Pegasus, current best guess is HIP 676.
The star is NGC 32:
ConstellationPegasus
Right ascension00[SIZE=2]h[/SIZE] 10[SIZE=2]m[/SIZE] 53.2s
Declination+18° 47′ 33″

It looks like NGC 32 is the two stars 2MASS 00105361+1847455 and 2MASS 00105290+1847200
These two stars are too faint to be in either Tycho or Hipparcos catalogues.
In a month or so, Gaia DR2 will come out, which will hopefully have parallaxes for these two stars.
With apparent magnitudes of 13.1 and 14.3, if they had the same absolute magnitude as the sun, they would be about 1500-2500 ly from Sol, and assuming they're in the same system a separation of between 0.2 and 0.3 ly

I've got two sites. Same Planet.

Name: Defenders Of Talmor

GalMap Ref: SYNUEFE UY-R B34-0 4a

POI Type: Planetary Features

Description: A complete 360 degree view from this moons highest point of 24Km, the top of the Defenders Of Talmor provides a vista as far as the human eye can see. Countless pyramid shaped mountains cover the entire planet and jut upwards towards the edge of space, most reaching close to 20km across torn land. Surface maps reveal the entire planet to be covered in spikes. Sunset and sunrise will show you unparalleled beauty and grandeur as the neighboring Class T star basks the land in light and you witness this tiny moons companion orbit so close that it appears that you can reach out and touch its surface.

* Coordinates: 32.5613 / 132.8101

Name: The Lens Bearer

GalMap Ref: SYNUEFE UY-R B34-0 4a

POI Type: Planetary Features

Description: A sole mountain stands alone in honor those who chose to dedicate their entire lives to the sacred role of caretaker and Lens Bearer.
The ones whom without none of this would be possible.

*Coordinates : 49.1828 / 167.9941

Just seen the discussion around geyser spawning, ive had some issues recently too which prompted me to raise a ticket. It seems FDEV are aware that even before 3.0, there was a bug where geysers would sometimes refuse to spawn, but would then spawn in when another cmdr entered the instance, whether that be in their own ship or even as a multicrew passenger. Still waiting to hear back if there is any news or solution.
But on that note, has anyone been up to Diamond Geysers recently ? I've been meaning to check whether they survived the update but it's kinda out the way. Anyone up near Beagle Point wanna check for me ?

Name: The Dryau Awesomes
System: DRYAU AUSMS KG-Y E3390
Description: Absolute madness of a system from a topology standpoint. The black hole drop star is in tight binary with a white dwarf, which itself has a gas giant orbiting fully inside it's exclusion zone and passing through the cones with a period of 14 minutes. Less than 20ls away lies a binary of a huge waterworld and a ringed gas giant, the latter of which has 2 volcanic moons skimming the very edge of the rings on slightly inclined orbits. The views offered from the surface of the landable moons is unlike anything seen elsewhere in the galaxy, and all objects in the inner system have extremely short orbital periods creating a dynamically changing view in the sky. Absolute must visit for anyone in the area. Even left a couple untagged bodies too for motivation haha, unless Baton got them :D

Wow! That's a seriously amazing system, great find!

Wish i could claim tag on this one, already tagged by Red Wizzard, although he didnt tag anything else there so not sure if he knew what he had found haha.

Baton said:
Nope, I found enough stuff on my own, so in no rush to tag anything, did not move beyond 50 ls from the main star even, there is so much great things close :) https://i.imgur.com/vDtfNza.jpg

Haha fair enough, isnt it just stunning there though, you see the timelapse i posted ?

POI submission

Name: Fireball Fumaroles

Game map search ref: Eullobs EL-Y E7

Description: A field of gaseous volcanism, located on the A 4 D moonlet, at the coordinates 14.9405, 130.8037.
This rare white supergiant system is located in the south end of the Perseus Crags.
Planets around the main star have experienced incredible heating, with most having no volatiles left on their surfaces.
Tidal stress in the A 4 D moonlet has disrupted the body's internals, releasing trapped pockets of silicates inside.

Materials that can be found here include Chromium, Manganese, Cadmium, Selenium, Niobium and Ruthenium.

POI submission

Name: Melon Fumaroles

Game map search ref: HIP20485 A 1, coordinates -1.1, -117.4

Description: Fumarole field located inside of an impact crater at coordinates -1.1, -117.4. There is a small canyon system located near the crater as well.
Planet is unique for it's relatively high Yttrium content of 2.5%, a rare find in the local inhabited bubble.
Materials that can be found here include Iron, Nickel, Vanadium, Zirconium, Cadmium, Molybdenum, Yttrium, and Cadmium.

Hahaha fair enough dude. I made another friend detour by about 10kly to come see it too haha. Been secretly visiting this place for about year keeping it somewhat hush hush haha. Thought it was time to share it. o7

Proposed POI Name: Silver Highway
POI type: Planetary Feature
Location: PHIPOEA HJ-D C27-5254 Planet 3A
Description: Hidden on the outskirts of the Phipoea Nebula is an ice moon, located between a Class 1 Gas Giant's inner and outer ring systems, and very close to the former. Pilots are rewarded with an extreme close-up of this inner ring as it tilts away from the moon's surface - so close, in fact, that it is easy to see individual objects moving in the belt as it orbits. The appearance is that of an enormous, shining, million-lane highway around the gas world.

Hello, I’d like to claim three records please:
  • Lowest Wolf-Rayet O class star
  • Lowest O class star
  • Lowest icy body
Before you get all excited, no I have not discovered a new lowest system...it’s just That Xbox Guy again, spamming you with screenshots in lieu of the flight logs I don’t have...sorry...:eek:

Here are some screenshots with the celestial body data for Kyli Flyuae AA-A h4. Fortunately there are only 3 things there, otherwise this would be a real chore!

Also, there’s a minor typo in the system entry. The traffic report says I discovered it on 8 September but the description says 9 August, which I’m guessing is a US date format mixup. 8 September is correct.

Wolf-Rayet O class star:

O class star:

The icy body:
47a5438d-ed80-46b7-a9fe-2432782f2d67.PNG


Couldn’t fit all the materials on screen at the same time; the rest are:
  • Zinc 4.0%
  • Arsenic 1.4%
  • Tungsten 0.8%
  • Mercury 0.7%
  • Polonium 0.4%

Frontier / Microsoft: console APIs when?

Hey everyone, I have two new submissions for the GMP :

NameJanus' Vision
GalMap RefEok Gree EG-Y g1846
POI TypeStellar Features
DescriptionDuring the Perseus Survey, I discovered a pink/purple planetary nebula which is really close to a Black Hole (approx. 5Ly). This black hole reveal the beautiful colors of the nebula ! In fact we used to see this nebula with a black hole inside but with it outside the distorsion is even more wonderful due to the purple gradient that we cannot see inside.

NameIris' Missive
GalMap RefLasoae BF-A f810
POI TypeStellar Features
DescriptionDuring the Perseus Survey, we discovered this Black Hole next to a Green/Blue Planetary Nebula. The close position (approx. 7Ly) between these two stellar features creates a gorgeous view. It reveals a wonderful irisation that we cannot see inside the Planetary Nebula. Mixt from Blue, Green and Purple, the gradient creates an amazing rainbow.

Iris is a God messenger. Both come from the Roman Mythology.
