IC 1805 Star cluster

It's the first visible star cluster on the way to the Heart and Soul Nebulae and it's a huge one. The Fireflies are located here. I was a bit confused that it has no map entry yet. Is there any particular reason?

(I can provide screenshots if necessary)

Also, I have been at Altera's Eye. Turns out the description of this POI contains information on a nearby system where a megaship can be found and a planet with a tourist beacon. The system name is not mentioned, however.
When I searched for it throughout the Web, I indeed found a system name, but I found neither the ship nor the beacon there.
IC 1805 Sector AV-O c6-6

Name: NGC 6326
POI type: Planetary Nebula
Galmap ref: CD-51 10820

Desc: Discovered by Scotsman James Dunlop during his first stint at the Parramatta observatory in southern Australia in August 1828, this starburst planetary nebula located in the constellation Ara contains a Wolf-Rayet star orbited by three gas giants. Each of the six moons orbiting these gas giants is a metal-rich body, which is much further from the system's core than is dictated by traditional models of stellar and planetary formation. Some physicists contend that these moons were originally inner planets from the system's pre-nebular order that were small enough to be knocked into highly elliptical orbits by CD-51 10820's stellar ejecta and ultimately captured by the gas giants. Others have postulated that they are remnants from a single, unstable metal-rich world that was ripped apart and scattered throughout the system during an early, violent period of nebular formation. Both sides have publicly called for a detailed survey of the nebula's distribution of high-metal content asteroids and planetesimals to settle this long-running debate, but unfortunately, there have been few expressions of interest in the project from the freelance cartographer community thus far.

Name: Box Nebula

Type: Planetary Nebula

System name: CSI-12-17112

Description: First observed in 1876 by the german astronomer Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel, the Box Nebula or NGC 6445 is a planetary nebula with a bright Wolf-Rayet star as its main celestial object, two main sequence stars orbit as a binary pair from a great distance. Do to its relatively low relevance, its remotness at around 11000 ly from Sol and its distance from the galactic plane, it was mostly ignored by the commanders in the Pilots Federation. No landable bodies are available but the unique dark and green background and the daunting trip makes this a wonderful experience for the experienced.

The brackets contain the jump that will have to be made once inside the indicated system. The minimun jump range for this route is 58.32 Ly, more jump range will result in a smaller amount of injections needed to get there.

Note to self:
- add info on Tionisla Orbital Graveyard
- fix inconsistency between Nadir and Descent both being described as furthest below the galactic plane

Name: NGC 5882
POI type: Planetary Nebula
Galmap ref: CD-45 9789

Desc: This blue planetary nebula was discovered by John Herschel, British polymath and son of the legendary astronomer William Herschel, on July 2, 1835. From Sol, the nebula's main star appears unusually "swollen" for its Wolf-Rayet class, but 20th Century astronomers theorized -- and FSD-enabled exploration has since confirmed -- that this is an optical illusion caused by a shell of extremely bright gas at the core of the nebular cloud. The star is orbited by three ringed high metal content worlds and a fourth high metal content world locked in a binary orbit with a ringed gas giant.

At Fantasticon 2017 - Elite Premonition author; Drew Wagar, and Frontier's very own Zac Antonaci were each presented with a framed 35x35" print of the Galactic Mapping Project star map.

The framed prints were gifts from the Children of Raxxla and the Galactic Mapping team. Special thanks to Hayate Yagami, Zenith, Karnath, The Tick, Eisen, Corbin Moran, and Erimus. [up]

The 60 mb print of the map is linked on post #2 of this thread - it does look stunning when professionally printed in all its glory and framed! :cool::cool:

Colours out of space...

The map poster found in post #2 was recently updated so it might be worth redownloading it if you want to enjoy the map with fresh colours and less text... :D

Name: NGC 5307
POI type: Planetary Nebula
Galmap ref: CD-50 8073

Desc: This spiral planetary nebula was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel on April 15, 1836. The nebula's unusual shape is believed to be the result of a wobble in the rotation of its main Wolf-Rayet star, which was likely caused by its binary orbit with a nearby Class K orange star. In contrast to the intriguing shape of the nebula's gas cloud, its interior contains no other celestial objects of note.
