Inner Moons List

[Zieman]

Seen some lately, but this is the only one with a visible outer ring:
Ooch Chrea NS-U d2-32 9

That's a nice outer ring, what's the radius on that?

That's ok, looked it up on EDSM, over 4.3m klms, it's quite unusual for such a large ring to be visible, nice find.

 

[Mooing]

Just found these 2 shepherd moons inside the inner and only ring.

Just found these 2 shepherd moons inside the inner and only ring.

I think that can happen quite often with stars in orbit around other stars, however the most unusual thing about it is how visible it is for a "huge" ring, I would usually count over 20m klm radius outer radius as huge, and rings that large are rarely visible up close.

And one more nice dense ring is reported by cmdr. Romeo India Charlie:

Gludgeia XP-P d5-41 #10 is a ringed gas giant that is orbited by 4 other ringed gas giants and a water world. All planets are in close proximity and can be viewed together. The water world is a shepherd moon of the gas giant, orbiting inside the radius of the parent's C ring, which is the 3rd largest ring in mass known ring in the galaxy.

[Mooing]

Found this HMC with two shepherds and a WW outer moon.

I've also gone out and grabbed screenies of the two shepherd ELWs in EDSM. It was really difficult to get all the rings visible on the screen, but I tried.

Spoiler: Smojoo ZE-R d4-109

Spoiler: Byeia Thaa YO-Q d5-11

 

[CMDR Junagu]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's interested in these.
I've only found two but they aren't on the list, so here goes:

Eoch Pruae EH-U d3-3099 - I've not kept any notes on this one, though it's registered in EDSM. I think it's this:

And the other is:
Straae Eohn LR-I b43-0

 

[Slowfiddler]

Eord Flyuae RS-B d3679 4

Two moons orbiting in the ring gap.

 

[Shnyrik]

Despite stars in the Tenebrae region are sparse, you still can find rings with shepherd moons here. And nice ones, by the way. Here is Ooc Fleau GG-F d11-0 (body #AB 2)

[Shnyrik]

One more nice-looking from Lyra's Song (if I remember it right): Priae Hypae YL-C c29-0

[Shnyrik]

And of course the wonderfull Smelly Shepherd, reported by dr. Nagi

A ringed ammonia moon orbiting a ringed gas giant with the rings being in an angle to each other. Between the gas giant's A and B ring, several shepherd moons can be found.

Spoiler

Oops. Double post. I've allready reported it here. But still, it looks amazing

 

[Chrismasterski]

Just came across 5 Shepard moons in Iowhail UI-K D8-2685 orbiting the 7th planet

and 2 more Shepard moons at Boepp MV-Z B18-100 orbiting the 3rd planet

 

[Shnyrik]

And one more nice-looking ring, this time from the Formorian frontier: Syrivua OI-K d8-83 body #AB 2

I've let ELITE Observatory seep through my entire Journals and this is what it turned up (quite alot ) :

[varonica]

Been quiet here lately, there doesn't seem to be much of anything unusual out in Tenebrea region in regards to unusual systems.

 

[MiloGreenRanger]

This is great work. EliteObservatory flagged these from my journals. I've only skimmed the thread, so apologies if these are listed elsewhere (or not really shepard moons). I would expect the ones in the bubble to already be known, and all of them should have been reported to EDSM.

I recently discovered this gem out in Kepler's Crest. of the 4 moons. only the last ringed one is outside of the parent planet's ring.
