Great work on the .gif!I'll see if it can be incorporated into Praei's descriptive text.
Let me know if there's a more appropriate size and I'll regenerate it rather than try to resize it.

The average size of images we use in POI descriptions is around 640 pixels Width, 400 pixels Height. I'll add a link on the the Praei POI entry to your post on here as well as incorporate your resized gif into the POI description.

Found a ridiculously fast rotating pulsar. Not the first one to discover but wanted to add it to the map

Better frame rate and some shading to give the illusion of depth and stop that direction reversing optical illusion

NEW POI
POI Name: NGC 6445
GalMap Ref: CSI-20-17462
Desc: "The NGC 6445 was discovered on May 28, 1786 by William Herschel is an 11th-magnitude planetary nebula in Sagittarius. It was described as ‘pretty bright, pretty small, round, gradually brighter middle, mottled but not resolved’. There is some confusion over the naming of this nebula. NGC 6445 is sometimes referred to as the ‘Box Nebula’, but the Box Nebula is located at host star CSI-12-17112. Other sources refer to the Box Nebula as NGC 6309.
The nebula is 5000 light years from Sol and located between the Lagoon Nebula and Cinnabar Moth Nebula. The nebula is red-and-green, lit by neutron star CSI-20-17462 and two T-Tauri protostars. A single landable body provides rest and sight-seeing for the weary traveller. "
(Note: Update Box Nebula POI entry when adding this entry. Box Nebula entry also says 'NGC 6445')

POI Name: Hypnos and Thanatos
POI Type: Stellar Features
GalMap Ref: LEECH TG-Y D8 (Hypnos) and LEECH SG-Y D0 (Thanatos)
Description: This pair K (Yellow-Orange) Giant stars is located in southern portion of the Outer Arm Vacuus. Separated by only 39,15ly they may be the furthest known giants stars south from SOL (19,870.1Ly and 19,875.7Ly respectivly).
The names are taken from greek mythology: The twins Hypnos and Thanatos are the sons of Nyx (The Night) and Erebus (The Darkness). Hypnos lived next to his twin brother Thanatos in the underworld.
Hypnos used his powers to trick Zeus and help the Danaans to win the Trojan War!
Hypnos has 36.5469 solar radius and 4,009k.
Thanatos is bit larger, with 37.1476 solar radius and 4,043K.
The stars are very similar, close, and are almost in the edge of Outer Arm Vacuus.

NEW POI - Jumponium-Rich System
Name: Grace Hopper Depot
Game map search ref: Groeh MT-Q c18-0
Description: Green system with all jumponium materials available, located in the middle of the Outer Arm Vacuus. It offers commanders a great opportunity to restock jumponium materials before continuing their journey through the black emptiness of the galaxy.
Named after Grace Murray Hopper, U.S. Navy rear admiral and computer scientist, author of the first compiler in history.

Hi! Can we please get a list of which planets have which materials?
Hello! Thank you for your submission. Please know that because ALL neutron stars in Elite Dangerous currently show jets (which would technically make ALL of them pulsars), the 'pulsar' category has been defined to ONLY be a) real-life pulsars or b) systems starting with prefix 'PSR'.
Fast-spinning neutron stars are not unusual enough for a POI, as many examples are known.
Hello! This entry lacks:
1) A name for the system
2) A screenshot
Please include these in any submission.
SO YOU WANT TO SUBMIT A JUMPONIUM DEPOT
If you want to submit a Jumponium Depot, please go to this thread.

Desc: "This unusual system features an earth-like world orbiting 3 different stars - two M-class and a K-class star. An earlier explorer named the system 'Cerebus', and Universal Cartographics has established a navigation beacon for deep-space tourists. A landable moon in orbit of the earth-like planet will provide good views of the planet and nearby nebula. "

Sorry I didn't realise I was naming the system. Get my thinking cap on time!
I assume its a system screenshot.
Edit: Just seen the link above, ill follow that and resubmit there. Thanks.

New POI
Name: The Devil's Dozen
Galmap ref: Segnao AA-A h38
Type: Planetary
Desc: "This system has an unusual diversity of bodies which are hard to explain with current stellar dynamics. The main objects of the system are a Herbig Ae/Be of 106 stellar masses - in only 0.87 solar radii - in binary orbit with a 35 solar mass black hole. This system is orbited by no less than 7 lava-type heavy-metal worlds with thick water atmospheres; an ammonia world with life; a terraformable heavy metal world; and a massive water-world in co-orbit with a gas giant bearing water-based life. The water-world is more massive than the gas giant! How is all this possible with only an apparent age of 2 million years?"

Froadik border summary, from the Aronnax Expedition
Map Ref: Froagh YJ-A d32
.
In early October 3303, the Aronnax Expedition surveyed the borders of Froadik, looking for signs of spacefaring activity as well as outdoor worlds and 'green' systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting. A suitable location for a 'Forward Base' was discovered just over 650 LY from the border: Froagh YJ-A d32, which hosts both an Earth-like World and an Ammonia World. The permit-locked Froadik region is spherical and about 1000 LY across, centred close to the Galactic Plane. The border region was found to be unusually rich in water worlds and six Earth-like Worlds were also found within 100 LY of the border, most notably one system, Ploadaea OG-Y d11, which harbours both an Earth-like World and an Ammonia World.
The detailed report on this region can be found in the expedition journal here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6035756&viewfull=1#post6035756

Name: Separated Twins
Game map search ref: Pueloea QJ-X c28-96, ABC 6 and D 6
Description: Two Earth-like worlds can be found in very different orbits in this system: the first one co-orbits three different stars (K, L and M), while the second one orbits a more distant fourth star. Despite this, the two planets are very similar to each other, nearly equal in size. This led the explorer to wonder whether the two planets were formed in the same orbits, but later separated - although the presence of a landable moon around the distant one might mean that this wasn't the case.
Screenshot reference: http://i.imgur.com/NXURINh.png and http://i.imgur.com/NmJcDn4.png
Also, for the mystery POIs, new Guardian ruins were discovered in Eorl Auwsy SY-Z d13-3468, around another nebula: see here.

POI name: The Wishing Well Nebula
Galmap ref: Bya Ail ZE-R e4-170 Nebula
type: 'Planetary' nebula / black hole
.
Located just over 1 KLY from the Golden Chalice Nebula in The Festival Grounds, this tiny blue-purple nebula surrounds a system consisting of a black hole and a F-type star with no planets. From inside, the nebula-rich scenery is seen through a blue haze, as if underwater, although the well of the primary needs to be treated with respect! Rumour has it that those visiting the nebula will have luck in finding Earth-like Worlds.
This was a chance discovery as I made my way from Froadik to Colonia. I'm not kidding about the luck with Earth-like Worlds (!): see https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6055407&viewfull=1#post6055407
