Here's a thread of lists the community has come up with for systems. With 400 billion systems, lists are extremely useful for various things like categorising them, recording rare finds, finding interesting destinations, naming systems and regions.
Otherwise according to Agony_Aunt: "I need nothing but a good woman by my side and a star to guide by!". So this thread's not for everyone
The first two are the most important:
Galactic Mapping - A Community Project - by Erimus and the community -The best attempt by the community to map the galaxy
The Official Explorers Photography Thread by the community - A list of neutron fields between the bubble and Sag A*
These are the most popular ones. Similar started threads might get merged with these, or novel ones can make the list. The general rule is it has to be a list that is very popular, or a complete list (like the Complete Guide to Nebulae and Galaxies and the List of largest known stars), and the OP must be maintained. Start a thread of your own list and when it gets very busy it can make this list (PM me).
For everything else, find it in or send it to Dognosh in his thread, which has every conceivable useful thread/site/software for explorers.
N.b. if someone is willing to make a website and incorporate all this information into it so we can have a proper community catalogue of the galaxy, pm me and Erimus
