Including on tablet?
On tablet?
Hmm.
Quick search for my Android phone found XnConvert, that did the trick (.png to .jpg).
select the pic, hit pen icon, hit download icon
There are probably dozens of apps for both Android & Apple that can do the conversion.
 
System Name: SYROOMU CV-G D10-4
Body: SYROOMU CV-G D10-4 2A, a ELW orbiting a WW
Commander Name: BEAUFORTY

The system sits around 2.7k ly above the galactic plane and half way between Colonia and the center of the galaxy with a distance to Sol of 26k ly.

Note this is Horizons on PS4

KEELBACK exploration !! Yes We Can !!

45 AL ... 2 commanders .. two SRV .... 1 fighter and a lot of fun !!!
CMD Super_Hulk was on Aquila Dark Region GW-W d1-86...
 
Commander name: Diavoler
System name: BOEWNST MX-B D968
Twin Earth-like Worlds, also a small nebula visible.

The system is pretty close to the Colonia region, i discovered it during a trip going Bubble-Colonia. Some interesting planets including a pair of earth-like worlds, close enough for each one to see the other!

System: HIP 70194
Commander: Chief Eng. Parker

A system not too far from the bubble, with a nice ringed ELW orbiting a ringed brown dwarf. A NSP is also present inside the planetary rings.
Since I first bumped into this little gem (I had the luck of being the first one to visit and map it) it has always been in my bookmarks, and I call it

The Galactic Speed Trap: just like spikes are sometimes laid on the road to stop vehicles with tyres, these crystals act like metaphoric spikes that compel the pilot to slow down, come to a stop and forget for a moment everything else, to just admire the quiet, beautiful vistas that the universe has to offer. From the jewel-like quality of a crowned Earth-like planet, to the soft shadows of the crystals caressing your ship as they revolve, to the peekaboo played by the ringed brown dwarf through the crowd of asteroids.

Every now and again I return to this system just for the sight.
Below are a pic I took in Horizons that has been my desktop background for a while, a new version with Odyssey, a peekaboo of the brown drawf through the rings and the overall look of the rings.

Tourist Beacons added by 28th Oct :)

SAUD KRUGER RECEIVES EXPLORATION DATA​

30 SEP 3307
Pilots Federation ALERT
Enormous amounts of data on Earth-like worlds has been collected for a campaign by shipbuilding firm Saud Kruger.
The data is highly valuable to the corporation’s subsidiary, Astrogator Tours, which runs holiday cruises across the galaxy and is seeking new locations.
The initiative was declared a success by CEO Stanislav Kruger:
“Not only have we received data about highly promising systems, but many creative Commanders provided imagery guaranteed to entice adventure-seekers to these new worlds. We are deeply grateful to all pilots who took part.”
Vistaenis Incorporated, Saud Kruger’s partner in this initiative, is now offering payment for the exploration data at Youll Port in the Vistaenis system.
Tourist beacons will be added to the most suitable systems by Thursday the 28th of October, which will record for posterity the names of the pilots who submitted the most compelling images.
As a result of the initiative, a discount of 15% will be applied to sales of all Dolphin, Orca and Beluga Liner ships from the 1st of October, alongside a reduction in cost for the luxury-class cabins which can be installed in any of Saud Kruger’s vessels.
 

Commander Name: FantasticTuesday

System Name: Byaa Theia FL-P E5-9




Feel the heat. Experience the creation of new life. Bask in the vitality.

You've seen the light of bright new stars. We're willing to bet you've never bathed in the light of one. Now you can do so on a windswept beach, Lavian Brandy™ in hand, as the air of a fresh new world fills your lungs. This place was young when the dinosaurs were ancient, and that youthful fire pervades every corner of this system. It's in the seas of three lava worlds. It glitters in the gold-capped mountains. It smoulders in the heart of a hypnotic red gas giant. Now it can be yours to take.

Reasons to visit:

  • A rocky super-Earth lit by a blazing young star. [1] It's only 76 million years old. The system is so young that the (two) brown dwarfs are still in the T-Tauri phase. Perhaps it shouldn't exist, and yet it does. Revel in its defiance of cosmic uniformity.
  • A monstrously large water world. With islands. [2] This planet has the same mass and radius as the lava planet that the Earth-like orbits, which creates quite a pleasing duality of fire and water. Additionally, the water world's moon is:
  • A terraformable rocky world with higher gravity (0.92G) than most HMCs. [3] It is hospitable enough for surface visits (not landable in-game).
  • Three lava planets. [6]
  • The red giant has a gemstone quality, and eclipses behind it are stunning. [4][5] A honeymoon cruise backdrop if I've ever seen one.
  • One volcanically active landable. [8]
  • Gold-capped mountain ranges for the most opulent of daytrips. [7][9][10]
  • Only 5,205Ly from Sol, and easy to reach.
A fairly comprehensive, but by no means exhaustive, collection of images can be found in the Imgur album.

Here is my submission.

System Name: Fleasi LS-A D1-9
Body: Fleasi LS-A D1-9 4, a ringed Earth-like World
Commander Name: Griff Rogers

Set high above the galaxy (+2363) like a crowned queen, this earth-like world has a ring that is tilted at an extreme angle relative to the galactic plane. The system affords stunning views overlooking the bulge around Sagittarius A at the center of the Milky Way, a perfect place to tour with your preferred Saud Kruger ship. This earth-like world is binary with a gas giant with water-based life, which has a landable rocky moon from which the ELW is visible. There are also a binary set of ringed Class III gas giants and several additional landable moons (some with geological signals) in the system, with plenty of excellent views, all illuminated by a bright white A class star (luminosity VI).

Come, one and all, and experience a majestic view of the galaxy from a ringed earth-like world like no other!

Sorry to open up an old thread, but one of my squadmates recently visited my winning submission at Veil West Sector GW-W c1-7, and the text is wrong. It incorrectly reads my CMDR name as "ivys0re", when it should read as "Ivy Augustine Hall" (that's the name I submitted the entry under, and the one that @sallymorganmoore had to manually correct because it was not listed right in the video or the final winners page on the forum.

Maybe you should contact support - there were lots of cases where the name on the beacon was the forum name instead of Commander Name.
