two more (now safely back in the bubble and data sold)
No worries, I've added it to the incomplete list in the meantime. In a couple of weeks, I should make it back to the bubble myself, so I could fill it then if nobody else will tell us the distance. Thankfully, there are only a handful of systems right now where the distances are missing.It'll be ages till I can tell you how far from Sol though. Sorry!

Also, welcome to the list, and good luck out there!
That's a good method of giving an estimate, but it's not entirely accurate. I just flew to Sol to flesh the list out, and checked some of your estimated entries as well. The errors were +/- 1-5 ly. (For example, SLEGEAE BO-F D12-0 is 3658 ly away, you calculated 3663 ly.) That's plenty decent accuracy, mind you - but in the future, if I have to check distances myself, I'll do so by flying to Sol.You can do as I did - since I was on my expedition when I was submitting my data here and could not see the distances to Sol, I simply calculated from the coordinates.
In his case, SIFI BV-T B18-0 is at -2001,269,620 which means the distance is sqrt(2001²+269²+620²)=2112.

Welcome back, and thanks for all your submissions!Ok, I'm back...
Lately, I've been using EDDiscovery and I just copy-paste from that. Much less chance of a typo getting through that way.I've not had to type so many random characters so many times since my days of training in Morse code.
Well, yes, the simple geometric calculation would be 100% accurate if you knew all the coordinates with no error. However, there are two sources of error in our case:The problem is with reading the coordinates accurately. The method is 100% accurate if you can do that.

Yes, unfortunately. It's a known bug that has been around for quite a while. The best you can do is enter the sector name and go there, and then try to search for the system with your Mk I Eyeballs. There is a method to the sector designations (the LI-J part in yours), so if you can find something with similar letters (like LH-J), then you should be able to find your system nearby. It's a pain to do, though.Found a nice system with two planets suitable for terra forming and one planet that was earth like (COL 359 SECTOR LI-J D9-4). Didn't get a snap shot, and can't seem to get my start map to go to it when I try and do search. Anybody else have this issue with the search feature on the star map?

Also, @ nicomak: thanks a bunch for submitting more info on your earlier finds as well! The new ones should be in the list shortly. For the two extra ones at the end of your posts, could you provide some screenshots as well please?
WOW. Nice thread. Rep +1.
Nice to see you took the idea of glynie one step further. I like the screenshots section for proof ;-)
I've added it to EDCodex. Also created a post in my third party tools thread- the info in EDCodex is more elaborate.
Before EDCodex will be released you (like all other authors) with tools/threads in EDCodex (approx 150 atm) will receive an invitation PM with a ready made account so you can edit/enhance your entry/entries - if you deem that useful. EDCodex is being coded by biobob.
Update: Edcodex has been publicly released on the 17th of August 2015.
