System SHAULAU AA-A H13 has a tourist beacon, Celestial Trove. It's in very close orbit around a supermassive B star. So close, in fact, that I can't seem to reach it. I get to about 280-ish light seconds away, then get stuck inside that zone where your speed is capped at a fraction of C, and the time to reach the beacon shoots up to about 10+ minutes and doesn't want to count down. I can't tell if it's inside the exclusion zone, or maybe is orbiting so fast that at capped speed I can simply never reach it.
Anyone ever reached tourist beacon Celestial Trove?

Well it may be possible to reach, but I don't appear to have a ship cold enough to make it. It gets very toasty in there. The beacon is about 30ls away from the star (not sure if that is from the centre of the surface) and I can only get to within about 150ls before running out of heat sinks - that's still some seven minutes of supercruise at max speed. I am now considering this a challenge. I will build myself the coldest ship I can get and try again, although it's going to have to wait a long time because I'm nowhere near any ship vendors and still have another 23,000 light years further out to my next beacon.
Is it on an elliptical orbit? It may move further out and be slower allowing you to catch, maybe you just have to wait.
Only thing which I found about this system is this sheet

Meanwhile in broken section 0083 is described as "still broken".
Yeah I tried looking it up as well, I found Celestial Treasure but no Celestial Trove.
Maybe. I don't know if there's a way to check orbital paramaters on a tourist beacon.
I found it in the passenger lounge, as one of those "Famous Explorer" missions. No I didn't actually accept the mission. Only a masochist would ever do so.

Well, I don't know any database which confirmed this beacon as existing/working, and any screen of beacon's description
It looks like excellent challenge for...anyone, who is in this area and want to test his ship.
Currently I'm in Vulcan gate, but I already bookmarked system, so sooner or later will try it, hope that it is just hot beacon, not beacon inside exclusion zone.

Damn Health & Safety don't seem to allow you to SC up to it - time outs down to a 5 minute ETA and then you hit the exclusion zone:
And there was me hoping to recreate the famous Sunprobe manoeuvre, ah well

Nice.
But you restricted your Video to certain countries, so I'm unable to watch it.
It's not mine. It's only marginally related so you aren't missing out anything important. Unless you are a big fan of Thunderbirds I guess
No-one's issue reported it, not sure why you think it would be magically fixed 
Well, in some ancient sheet I seen it as "bugged", so I thought that it was reported anywhere, and this sheet was simply outdated
Anyway, I submited ticked, since issue tracker require certain amount of people which will confirm bug, and doubt that I could gather enough people. Waiting for support response.

Well that's disappointing.
Out of curiosity, what's your build and how hot did you get?
Dolphin - maxed out around 50%. Since someone got fdev to break their heat mechanics they're difficult to overheat
Ah - knew I took a screenshot - actually in normal space it was < 50%, IIRC 50% was when still in SC

Perhaps share the issue?

They haven't raised an issue by the sound of it (nothing in the tracker). I'd bet they raised a Support Ticket - hopefully Support will get back to them and point them back to the issue tracker. Or maybe they'll fix it and help keep people confused about which tool is for what
