I have no idea what is going on with that. Any clues for a way to reliably reproduce this would be more than useful.
To have it only trigger on planets, you can do this:
---@Simple Not Mappednot scan.WasMapped and scan.PlanetClass ~= nilHowever, just a little bit away from the bubble and that will trigger All. The. Time. You mentioned "signing the guest book" before, so a better check would be to look for already discovered planets that are not mapped:
---@Simple Discovered But Not Mappednot scan.WasMapped and scan.WasDiscovered and scan.PlanetClass ~= nil
Right, as varonica pointed out you'll need to carve out exceptions for the things you don't want. If someone else doesn't step up I can help out with that later this evening when I'm not busy.
edit: Ah, Matt already stepped up. For some reason the forums decided not to show me those posts.

Version 1.2.9, "Trailblazing", now available.
A small catch-up release to add support for journal changes in and after the Trailblazers and Powerplay 2.0 updates, plus some assorted missed values. If you were experiencing crashes in and around the bubble and colony systems this should resolve it.
Huge thanks to @fredjk-gh for doing most of the lifting on this one.

Herald Two-Point-Oh
The long-awaited return of the Herald plugin!
Last November I was forced to take Herald offline; a sudden spike in usage caused the cost of providing the Azure based voices to become unsustainable. At the time I said that at some future date it may return as a Patreon bonus for those supporting the project, and now that day has arrived. Anyone backing the project on Patreon at any tier will have access to Herald via the Observatory API.
Users with their own Azure Cognitive Services account can use Herald with their own subscription key, avoiding the need for a Patreon pledge should you already have access to Azure Cognitive Services.
Alternatively, Herald can be used with an OpenAI voice model. This requires access to a speech service providing an OpenAI speech API endpoint. Use of OpenAI is a beta feature and you may encounter bugs or odd behaviours. Notably, the OpenAI API does not support the use of SSML which is used internally by Observatory for both native voice notifications and by Herald to control the manner in which some voice lines are spoken, so raw text is used instead. This may result in some voice lines sounding odd or unnatural, e.g., "Body AB 1" may have "AB" read as a single word rather than individually spelling out "A B". If you encounter any other issues with the OpenAI API please report them on the forums
or discord so I can investigate.

v1.2.10 - Don't Repeat Yourself
One small feature, some under the hood handling, and a couple of small but important bugfixes. Of note this fixes an issue with repeated notifications being emitted by the Herald plugin, which provides higher quality voice notifications and is now available for all patrons as well as anyone with their own Azure Cognitive Services account.
