Sights to see in the Colonia region ?

The first time I was in Colonia (Aug, 2016)is wasn't called Colonia and Jaques stations was labeled 80 DD-D 774-CE-2
I'm back in the Colonia area now and I know there have been a lot of great discoveries since the last time i was here.

For example I just visited Spoihaae XE-X d2-9 and landed on "Monde de la Mort" which is an awesome sight seeing POI.
Video Here ...

EDSM has a POI map which has a number of systems I may add to my itinerary.
Anyone have any other must see locations I should stop by while I'm here?

In particular, I though there was a landable planet with 10G gravity or nearly. Higher gravity than HD 148937 3, but I'm not able to find it on EDSM or searching these forums.

Sorry, have no info about any high G planets there. I found some rather powerful water geysers in that area. Let me know if you are interested and will pass the coords.

Odd that this isn't listed as a PoI in EDSM. (update, it is now)

Holy hell! How do you land on THAT place???? Apart from either VERY quickly or very slowly.

Even taking off.. you'd barely make enough thrust to pull away

You land on it like this ... https://youtu.be/fgflgjGULBQ?t=3m43s
Very slowly is the better option;) but lithobraking is always a possibility.
It's not much higher gravity than HD 148937 3 which is 9.77G.

It's all the same over 3G anyway. According to this thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/218171-Thrusters-Acceleration-and-High-G-Planets
You always have at least 5m/s acceleration over whatever the gravity happens to be, no matter what thrusters you have.
So even with 4D thrusters on an Anaconda that barely have the optimal mass rating to move the ship, you would still be able to take off in 10G

With enough shields, anything is possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av_YArwNrSQ is from the winner of the "speed landing" competition held there last year (though I'm not sure if that's the actual winning run or not)

A few other places to visit:
Colonia Point - Thaae Pruae AA-A h5 - is a pair of Wolf-Rayets right on the edge of the galactic disk, where you can see the whole galaxy, or nothing. Boosted jump range of 70ish needed to approach, or more for some routes, though there's a relatively nearby neutron star for getting out again.

In the settled area itself, Concordia Hub (just after sunset/before sunrise), Prisma Renata, The Bone Yard, Moore's Charm and Foster Terminal are all good for screenshots (and many of the other stations are quite well placed)

I tried to go see the Fungal life on Colonia 3 C A , but apparently it's gone extinct.
Does anyone know of any coordinates where it still exists?

I stopped by the Galactic Carwash & Aquapark (Eorgh Prou EG-I b54-46) to wash my SRV before heading to Kyloalks DL-Y g17

I landed on "The Mighty" last night for the first time. 3:14 from orbital cruise 'til ship secured.
I came in a bit too hot but hit the ground at only 9m/s
