Is anyone mapping neutron stars?

Hi, fellow explorers, I hope all of you are having a fine day out in the black?
I am :D I'm on my way towards Sag A* for the first time(about damn time, too, I'd reckon :p )
I'm discovering A LOT of cool stuff, systems and planets and whatnot :D It amazes me that after 3,300+ systems visited, 93,6 kylies jumped in 5,700 h-jumps and 42,000+ lv3 detailed scans, I still find SO many systems and objects that are so beautiful, I almost drool like a 13-year old touching his first boob :p

Anyhoo, what I'd like to ask all of you, is:

Are there any CMDRs/factions/forum groups or the like out there, that are mapping neutron stars that have been discovered? You know, for neutron highways/jump boosting or summin' like that?

If there are, I've discovered a few of those(8 so far), and if anyone is in the process of making highway maps etc, I'd give them the info I have(once I return to a station and claim my findings as my own, of course :p )

They are so numerous that it's basically useless. You can Google 'neutron highway' though and find mapped routes from the bubble to Colonia and Sagittarius A* iirc. Some tools also allow you to plot neutron routes from EDSM data. (see Foundation link in my sig) And finally, the game plotter can now plot and favour neutron stars, so...

This ^^.

And additionally the new/reworked route plotter that came with 2.4 can be configured to automatically look for neutron-boosts on your route. And according to my experience it does a pretty good job - mostly. 2.4 dropped when I was around Kyloalks DL-Y g17 (the system with this 9.9 G landable). I went from there to Sag A* and the Great Annihilator using this functionality and I'm on my way back to the bubble at the moment, still using it. I'd say about 90% of the neutron stars it lead me to were even untagged at that time. If you're just about to cover some distance it's a cool feature that makes long range travel 1. faster and 2. more interesting and adds a bit of a challenge. But don't forget to take an AFMU with you, since neutron-boosting does a little damage to your FSD on every supercharge and excessive use will lead to a necessity to repair the FSD at some point.
 
I'm on my way to Beagle Point and just letting the plotter find Neutron Stars along the way. I am keeping a log in INARA for personal reasons and because I'm on XBox One and have no other means to get my data. I might manually put them in EDDB and other Galactic Maps once my journey is over but I'm not sure yet. Here is simply what I write on the journal:

You might find the neutron star map in Redfox's star type distribution map, shown in this thread, interesting. 245,957 neutron stars plotted by galactic co-ordinate. Data derived from EDDB/EDSM.
