From time to time I have added POIs submitted to the
Sagittarius-Carina Mission POI registry directly to the EDSM map, if these lived up to the requirements of the Galactic Mapping Project.
Some have also been submitted to this thread by the pilots who discovered them.
But to make sure that no POI is left unmentioned in this thread I bring here the full list of POIs added from the

POI Name: 13 Mu Sagittarii
POI Type: Beacon
Game map search ref.: 13 MU SAGITTARII
Description: While this blue-white supergiant is neither the biggest nor brightest known star in our galaxy, it is among those furthest away while still clearly visible with the naked eye from Earth. Part of the explanation for this is that the star is located deep below the galactic plane allowing for a relative clear line of sight to Earth. The other part is obviously that this IS a supergiant star with a total luminosity of 180.000 times that of the Sun. The star is the 13th star of the constellation Sagittarius (measured in apparent magnitude), and besides its ancient designation "Mu Sagittarii" it is also known under the names Polis and Dôu.
The unique combination of luminosity and location means that it is possible for explorers flying near the lower edge of the galactic plane, to get a visual bearing on this system as far away as the galactic rim.
The landing site, which is included in the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, is a moon fairly close to the supergiant. It has interesting topography with huge mountains and deep chasms. From the top of mount Thriven there are spectacular views to be seen. Many other planets in this system offers spectacular views as well, so take your time to look around while in this system.

Description: A blue & purple planetary nebula, located in the Sagittarius Arm near the Eta Carina nebula, with a Neutron star, class M star, a couple of Gas Giants and many terrestrial planets. Among the terrestrials you can find a Water World, an Earth-Like World and an Ammonia World. The discoverer claims that majestic structures can be seen on the surface of these planets, some floating on water and even in the air. Thus, he named it the Three Worlds Nebula. However, it has been suggested that the discoverer spent too much time inside the magical looking nebula and started seeing things as a result. Later visits by the explorers taking part in the Sagittarius-Carina Mission has neither confirmed nor denied these claims.

POI Type: Surface Features
Game map search ref.: Mycapp TX-U d2-4
Description: The explorer first surveying this area as part of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission wrote a scout report that really captures the unique essence of this system: "This Neutron system caught my attention with a landable HMC only 55 light seconds from the Neutron Star. Personally, this is the closest I have seen a non-icy planet orbit a Neutron Star. So I decided to land on it, and when I was down there it felt really empty, it felt like a wasteland. And that's the distinctive feature of this system. Instead of having lots of stars, colours and rare planets, it has one barely visible star, three common planets and is almost completely black. In my opinion that might be a nice change of pace, and that's why I like this system. My experience was that the system feels so empty, dead even, that it becomes a noticeable feature."
The landing site was names in reference to the Black Tortoise of the North, one of the four mythological spirit creatures of ancient chinese astrology.

POI Name: Tristar Beacon
POI Type: Beacon
Game map search ref.: Eactaify EG-Y g5
Description: Unlike the deceptive Will-o'-wisp star found further "north" of this point, the Tristar Beacon is a true and distinctive navigational marker. It is a trinary system of two very bright B-stars and one even brighter O-star. For travelers approaching from the "north" it acts as a lighthouse, showing the way to safe waters after the treacherous crossings from the far rim. For travelers approaching from the "south" is serves as the final warning post - from here on onward are perils... And ships with a range below 30+ LY are not recommended to continue "north" of Tristar along the Sagittarius-Carina Mission route. An alternative route can be taken via the Distant Worlds waypoints.
The beacon system itself contains no landable planets, but a nearby system offers a place to rest for the weary traveller.

Game map search ref.: Eembaitl DL-Y d13
Description: This is the final waypoint of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission located within the Centauri constellation, and also a really distant system from Earth. As such it seemed fitting to name this system Ultima Centauri - the final centaur. The landing site is located on the moon of a gas giant in this neutron star system. The position near the dark galactic rim, the close orbit of the planet to the neutron star and the peculiar color of the light - all these enhances the feeling that this is near the end of all things - even centaurs.

POI Type: Stellar Features
Game map search ref.: Tyroerts AA-A g2
Description: The ghostly light of the Will-o'-wisp might lead the unwary traveler into murky waters... or so the saying goes among seasoned explorers. This very bright O-star serves as a beacon marking the Sagittarius-Carina Mission route in this sector, but the path it lights for you is not without its dangers.
If approaching this location from the "north", following this beacon will lead you straight into one of those mysterious regions of the galaxy that current nav-computers refuse to enter. If approaching camp 23 from the "south" a jump range of 30+ is recommended to avoid being lead astray or on a wild goose chase. Once the weary traveller finally reaches his price, the system itself reveals nothing but the star itself. It is truly an "ignis fatuus" (foolish fire).
A nearby quaternary system offers a place to land, but even the ground of this world resembles the phosphorescence of the Will-o'-wisp...

Description: The Nest offers a good place to set down and unwind after crossing The Abyss - or to prepare for that crossing if you are traveling the route of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission in the clockwise direction.
The landing site offers a varied topography of roling dunes and steep mountains - possibly a result of the iron magna volcanism of this world. Since the moon is tidally locked in its orbit, the red gas-giant it orbits is forever trapped on the horizon. This foreboding red eye watching the landing site makes you wonder what creature might actually make this place its nest...

The system was scouted as part of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, and as such a landing site had to be designated for this waypoint of the route. The nearby system of Prue Hypa CS-I D10-8 was proposed (read more under POI: "The Siren").

Description: This system contains a ringed and glittering world, but be advised - the gravity is 4.01g. The pilot who scouted this alluring world, as part of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, reports that everything is very bright and shiny down on the surface - though this could also be an effect of the concussion he aquired when setting down in a hard landing... Visiting this landing site is entirely optional, as trying to land there would be really reckless - right? But now that you know about this world, can you resist the lure of The Siren?

Description: This system was chosen as a waypoint for the Sagittarius-Carina Mission. At the time is was one of very few systems in this remote area of space to be surveyed, and the only one known to contain a water world. Psychologists of the Institute of Galactic Exploration and Research argued that it was paramount for the mental well being of pilots taking part in the Mission, to have a confirmed location of a water world this far out. This would allow the space-weary explorers a known respite near a blue planet to rest their eyes upon.
When passing through this region of space, pilots found that a neighboring system had an Earthlike World with a landable moon. This location was chosen a landing site.

Description: The central star is an impressive class B of 14 solar masses and 5,5 solar radii. The only landable body is a metal-rich planet (8A) that orbits one of the 4 additional T-Tauri stars in the system. The planet has an interesting 'feel' to it, with nice shades of brown and grayish-green and the surface consists mostly of craters and some lonely mountains. The system is a waypoint for the Sagittarius-Carina Mission.
A combination of crater and mountain makes for a visually interesting landing site, with the long steep slopes leading the eye up towards the stars in the sky. Because of this, the planet is named after an ancient egyptian goddess for the night sky (Nut or Newet), and the mountain for the ladder that leads to her heavenly skies.

Game map search ref.: Grie Hypai DL-Y G2
Description: Black Hole in close proximity to a yellow and white T Tauri star pair, with another Blue T Tauri and a Class B star within 5500 Ls. Due to the star types, it is unknown how this system formed, but it'll look spectacular if they ever put active black holes in. EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN JUMPING TO THIS SYSTEM - the black hole is in close proximity to the two stars, and you could end up getting forced out of supercruise within seconds of reversion.

Game map search ref.: Pyrie Eurk NV-G c10-0
Description: When you are 62.136 LYs from Sol, you do not expect to randomly encounter another pilot. Yet, this system was the stage for one such one-in-a-billion chance that came to be. And so it happened one evening in september 3302, that two extreme deep space explorers suddenly found themselves thrown out of their familiar solitude. As one of them recalls: "Totally amazing and unexpected... I was totally stunned when he appeared on my scanners, and I checked to see if he had an interdictor! He didn't, so I was relieved and we chatted for a while. He'd been out exploring for several months, yet his paint job looked as good as new! Not like mine!"
