So last week I was the first to discover three planets in a system barely even outside the bubble. At the time I never thought much about it and assumed (wrongly it turns out) that there were plenty systems with unclaimed planets. After exploring all the way to the witch head nebula it turns out I was ridiculously lucky to find these when I did. And I can't remember where the hell they were! Is there somewhere I can check to see a list of planets I've discovered first?

Newcomer / Intro How do I find planets discovered by me?

no.
for the future: use a thrid party tool like capitains log or ed discovery, keep a spreadsheet, keep an screenshot album, or do screenshots of your hand-ins.
in the api forum there is a thread about FDEV including a new (more complete) log for third party tools, so i don't think they plan to include something like that in the maingame.
i personally run ed discovery, with a spreadsheet log for every exploration tour marking interesting findings.

The odd completely gorgeous body or system I'll note down, but otherwise as a combat player that goes exploring once every few months for a short time, I kinda prefer not documenting or knowing what I've discovered.
The planets I have conquered, I have conquered. I don't scan much, only the things that make me go "damn that's fit". And it suits me to not know where they are, because I will never go back - only that if someone stumbles on it, they will go "damn that's fit", and see my name over it.
Sounds a bit like my treatment of conquered victims...I think. Somehow.

Looks like you are on a popular route, so there won't be many systems that are untouched. But if you head out in a random direction you will find undiscovered systems quite common once you are about 1,000ly out.
If you are still out there and haven't claimed your data, you will get a "congradulations" message listing all the first discoveries in the page of data you submit.
I used to want to do this. Kept track of every system first discovered by me in a notebook. The list started to get kinda long, so I narrowed it down to systems that had things of interest: ELW's, ammonia or water worlds, life, etc. I gave that up after a while too, so now I only care about the ELW's which I had submitted on the list of ELW's thread. When I want to see them I can look it up there
When I went out to Sag A, I found a number of ELWs, and regret not marking down or photographing the locations.
The big groovy with doing that would be after we can land on them. I would like to go back & land on an ELW with my name on it.

If you travel off the beaten track then you will be lucky to find a system that has been discovered. After my trip to Jaques I handed in 22 pages of UC data and most of them were newly discovered ones. Even fairly close to the bubble there are plenty of undiscovered systems if you travel out in a direction not towards any sort of tourist spot.
Yes, that's what I do. I am too old and dumb for setting up some third party tool and linking it with my game. I spent more than a week with Voice attack and although I succeeded, I ended up not using it and I use head tracking only because it worked just by plugging it into an USB.
I have a tablet next to me at all times for quick notes, and I take a System map screenshot of every interesting system I run into.
You must have a heck of a lot of screen shots. Took me over 1000 jumps to Jaques and TBH after a while I stopped scanning anything not water world or earth like after a while (didn't find a black hole or neutron star). I might have agreed with you before I started travelling "proper" distances. I used to think the bubble was big...you just have to think about the vast nature of the galaxy and quite how many you really want to log. I just don't have the patience!
On the way back from Beagle Point I took a screenshot of the core from every system; until I was about 2/3 of the way back and starting to lose my sanity, realising how much of my life I was wasting flying out from the star just to get a good shot and gave up.
I still have many gigs of screenshots I'll never look at again. Might make a nice animation, if I weren't so lazy.

there is some odd irony in the title of this thread......

By 2180, one of the few jobs left is that of bounty hunter, a job considered too dirty for normal humans. The strongest of mutants hunt down criminals throughout the galaxy for the Search/Destroy agency, whose distinctive SD badges give them the nickname Strontium Dogs. The SD agents operate from an orbiting space station known as The Doghouse
