Nice discovery close to the Bubble

On my way back from my Earth-like hunting grounds I just found a undiscovered HIP 49706 a system only 590ly from the bubble with a Black -hole /Neutron star/ Large blue B class star and a nice ringed Water-World.
For anyone interested I left several Gas Giants and their moons undiscovered for others to leave their name.

CMDR Q!!!!
 
According to EDSM, that System was discovered "by daPet on Dec 23, 2015, 12:01:17 PM."

You might have missed the tag, or that bug with the discovery tag not showing on first sight stroke again.

However, rep for the kind sharing :)

Actually as much as I love EDSM, the tags there are simply the person who reported the system and went into the database. They have no relation to the in-game tags and there may be many reasons why something is tagged in game with a different name than on EDSM (for example someone used EDDiscovery during beta, someone has not yet sold their data, etc.).

It could be a bug but it has my name on the discoveries now when I look at it. And the Gas Giants and Moons are showing as undiscovered still.
I wonder if there is more than 1 system with that iD tag?
I would have thought they would of sold their Data by now (2015) LOL.
Probably got destroyed before they could sell data back in 2015 maybe? Although not a good idea to report systems before doing that .
Also just a bit further out at 1200ly I also now have my name on Upsilon Garinae a system with 2 close Binary class A Supergiants that I found undiscovered about 15 minute's earlier.
That also shows as someone else reporting that system?
Server issues?

I think something might have happened to the servers today:

There have been a few independent reports today of first discoveries being awarded in and around the bubble. It seems highly unlikely to me that all of these systems have not had data sold on them before. A bright star with a HIP designation like you describe just 590LY away from the bubble would probably have been tagged within the first couple of months after the game's release - it would not have taken two and a half years.
(Sounds like a nice place to visit anyway - ringed water worlds make a great backdrop for a bit of mining).

In EDSM, the "first discovered for EDSM by" name, is just the first person to upload coordinates for the system to EDSM/EDDN.

A few possible reasons ESDM could have a different name than the game...
The first person to "discover" the system was not sending data to EDSM, so the next person to jump there using EDD or EDMC get's their name shown in EDSM.
The first person to "discover" the system was sending data to EDSM but their ship was destroyed before they sold the data in-game.
The first person to jump into the system sent coordinates to EDSM but did not scan any bodies.

In the game, Bodies are tagged, not systems. In EDSM it's the System, and not the bodies that have a name attached.
So think of the EDSM "discovered by" as an unofficial system tag, since it's related to visiting the system, and not scanning anything.

Yep. The only first discovered that matters is what the ED database shows. Sounds like a great discovery OP. There are still a lot of undiscovered around the 500ly-600ly bubble, even more if you extend it to 1k. I was able to find a few nice systems near the floor of the galaxy. Even some Undiscovered Giants. You just have to head in a direction that no one would have had a reason to go. ie, not in the direction of Nebulas or other areas of interest. Even places like the Formadine Rift, which is 15k out, has a lot of discovered because its a destination place. Head off the beaten path and there are plenty of undiscovereds.
 
It would appear that the server has been repaired and restored the systems to their original discoverers which is good news.
Still I am still happy to have discovered that system and claim the credits which I got to keep LOL.

Server issues aside, I believe there are still some systems that are undiscovered around 500-600ly from the bubble, just in unpopular directions. :)

Yes, sure are I found one 190lys from the bubble's edge and quite a few at 900-1000lys even a HIP system
