Is this rare? M Star with a ring

Wow, I didn't even know it was possible to have rings around a star (either in ED or IRL), and I certainly haven't seen this before in the game. Congrats, great find and nice pictures!

I dont know about the rarity, but those are some amazing shots! I've just started exploring and am really hoping to find some cool sights like this :)

I've only seen one of those, back in my earliest days of exploring. I'm 55 Kylies and 3000 systems into my current expedition and not come across another ringed M class star like that.

HD 193576 D 1 was where I saw it.

Hm, when I saw that system map you posted, I got a funny feeling. Had to check my screen cap folder.

Wasn't the same system.

Now I'm gutted that I didn't take the time to fly to that ringed star. Although it might've been other than M-class. Had scanned dozens of 2MASS-objects that day and was planning to scan several more, so I decided to leave that ringed devil (and it's parent black hole) unexplored. (They were tagged for first discovery though.)

How close was the black hole to the ringed star? It would be an incredible screenshot if you could align the ringed star with the black hole in the background lensing against the milky way.

wow, that system though! If anyone has lost a star, I think you may have found where all the lost ones go :)

This thread makes me want to get my explorer load-out finished up even more. Nice find - as too with the pictures others have responded with!
