That is an interesting system. According to the main object type and the density of the ring, the ring should be visible as dense.
By the way, I see, you visited the system in the Odissey. Didn't you happen to check it in the Horizons?

That could be the explanation.. my pc is too weak for odyssey so i may have not seen the rings. I tried to run it a couple of times but my gc is not happy about it and transforms into a jet engine.

Thanks, for correction.
I can explain not visibilty ring from planet - landing point in same plane as the ring. I try make other screen from other planet or other point

UPD
I noticed ring from planet 9c
screen from Odissey

and same from Horizons

Anyone posting in this thread or following it any suggestions on how to get a galaxy map of the spreadsheet list from the 1st post generated? Wouldn't mind putting a tour/expedition together around some of these.

For easy copying:

2mass j08120387-4918367
2mass j08105188-4919179

These two systems are within the guardian bubble.

I went back over my old logs and discovered a bunch of Shepherd Moons which predate my first listing in this thread and were probably never posted.
I added a zip file with the exported data if that helps to add them.

Three more. Rings were difficult to make out.

4. FOUR. Thats a first for me.

Found a really nice one here:

It orbits directly between ring B and C, which is something I haven't seen before.

There's also a second moon that orbits at a 90° inclination, giving it a spectacular view of the rings. Sadly, neither moon is landable.

I'll admit I'm being lazy but has anyone mapped the list onto a galactic map or knows of any way of doing so?
I've kept an eye on this list for some time and I know there are some gems I really want to visit if I'm vaguely near to them (currently going up the Colonia Bridge away from the Bubble and about half way to Rohini).
EDIT: just noticed I've posted the same request a bit up. Apologies.

4 new ones. I start to believe they are more common than we think.

They are massively common, I stopped reporting because I was getting so many!

They are common, it is true. Though there are some types, that are less common, than the others

Ditto.

True, the main thing I look for these days is if the outer ring is visible. So many of these shepherd moon systems have an invisible or all but invisible outer ring and you can't get decent shots of both rings from the one body.
