An initial 30 of the 100 or so uncharted planetary nebulae visited during a galactic core survey carried out in March and April 3303. Apologies for the text-only entries; I don't take a lot of screenshots.

Since you don´t have screenshots, can you provide some other proof of visit to these nebulae?

Cheers :)
 
I call these star triplets "Ghan's three brothers."
Sadly number 4 is just some lightseconds too far away. But this constellation is still a 1:1000 system wonder to behold.

This is some very rare system: Blaea Thoea EV-Y d11 two earthlike worlds just 1,4 lightseconds away from each other. This is in comparison almost like Earth to moon.
Technically speaking you could actually remote control electronic devices on each others planet and visit each other even with very old 1969 earth technology.
Some system to colonize for sure!
This system has even more earthlike bodies!

To clarify, I don't have in-cockpit screenshots. I can always go back and take screens of the system map, if you want.

For now, I've included a text description of the main stellar and planetary bodies in each system, since that seems like it would be more useful for the EDSM entry.

I can also dump my flight log from EDSM -- my commander's name is Z@pp Rowsdower.

I believe having your commander name is all we need to verify your visits.

Thanks again for your additions :)

Interesting. According to EDSM, Blaea Thoea EV-Y d11 has a somewhat different makeup than you describe and the A and B stars seem to be missing. Could you please clarify as the planets in question look more like water worlds or are not included in the planetary survey?

Thanks in advance and fly safe out there CMDR!

POI Name: NGC 6281
POI Type: Star Cluster
GalMap Ref: V948 Scorpii

Desc: "NGC 6281 is a linear star cluster approximately 190 light-years long. Old earth astronomer John Herschel then described the cluster as both 'pretty bright' and 'pretty rich'. The cluster contains stars from the HD, HIP, CPD and 2MASS star catalogs.

Interesting features include:
* HIP 83499: An O-type star with a black hole;
* HIP 83559: Binary water worlds which have thick ammonia atmospheres;
* HD 322660: An earth-like world with a landable moon. "

There are at least 3 named (not procedural) planetary nebula with-in 3000 ly of Sol that are not currently documented on EDSM.

I'm going to start documenting these once I get back to the bubble.

Ah, that I will believe. 60% or so of all of the uncharted nebula I found had already been discovered.

POI Name: Mammon Monitoring Facility
POI Type: Asteroid Base
GalMap Ref: Mammon

Desc: "Mammon Monitoring Facility is located inside the IC 1287 Nebula, at host star Mammon. The base is located in the rings of Mammon 2, which is a high-metal content world suitable for landing with current starship technology. Landing is not recommended for inexperienced pilots as the body has a surface gravity of 3.33G. The facility is run by the Mammon Task Group, an independent military group run by a dictatorship. It is unclear what the Task Group is monitoring from this location. The total population of station and surrounding areas is 10,000. The base provides all services except for ship outfitting and a shipyard."

for documentation, since this base is not currently on the EDSM list:

So there is an existing Historical POI for the Coalsack, but there is no POI for the entire collection of dark nebulae in that area, and they exist with a real astronomical name: The Great Rift. Therefore, I am submitting this POI as a more complete description of the entire group of nebulae.

--

New POI

POI Name: The Great Rift
POI Type: Nebula
GalMap Ref: HIP 84605 (roughly central)

Desc: "The Great Rift is the name given to the collection of dark nebula (also called absorption nebula) located between the Sol System and the Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy at a distance of about 300 light years. This collection of separate dust clouds is a highly visible feature in the otherwise bright view of the galactic disk as seen from Sol. Astronomers estimate they contain about 1 million solar masses of plasma and dust.

The individual members of The Great Rift are:

* Coalsack and Coalsack Dark Region
* Chameleon Nebula
* Lupus and Lupus B Dark Region
* Rho Ophiuchi nebula
* Ophiuchus Dark Region
* Ophiuchus Dark Region B
* Ophiuchus Dark Region C
* Snake nebula
* Scorpius Dark Region
* Pipe Nebula, as "Bowl" and "Stem"
* Corona Austr. Dark Region
* B92 Nebula"

Edit: made a photo that should work

Hi Folks,

I'm new to this thread, but 13,000 ly from Sol in the southern border of the formidine rift I'm overwhelmed by F, G, K, A and B class Stars, everywhere.

First of all, I'd like to Point out this System to the jumponium-users out there. I has every material needed, for any jumponium Level: https://eddb.io/system/bodies/8700111

Then, yesterday I've found a System with an earth like and a water world rotating each other : https://eddb.io/system/bodies/9099678

Next time I'll try to post screenshots instead.

Hello there and welcome to the GMP :)

Sounds like you have found something interesting out there - looking forward to hear more about it.

Please take the following into consideration - it eases our workload a lot when updating the map.

Thanks again :)

Important! Submitting Points of Interest:


Please use the following convention when submitting an entry (and in this order)..
Name:(Name of your entry after checking the naming stipulations listed here)
Game map search ref:(Provide the exact procedural name of the POI you discovered - if its a nebula choose a system within the nebula to act as its reference location. Same goes for star clusters.)
Description:(Write a short description of what you found)
Screenshot reference:(Provide the post # or link of where your screenshot or video of your POI can be found - it is a big help if you provide the image resized or cropped to a with of 640 pixels. If this is not possible for you just submit the image anyways and we will do it for you. But it does save us a lot of time if you have done it yourself)

Thank you for your request! Those are - sadly - terraformable waterworlds. blaea Thoea EV-Y d11 C6 and C5

Please, may I request only one small thing, please? Could you add the lightyears from sol
when posting stations, yes?
Just so we can see at once if it is near our current position in the galaxy. Thank you!

Do you use EDSM? By automatically synching your flightlogs with the database (eg. via EDDiscovey) the map can show you your actual position on the galactic disc as well as all the stations. That way there is no need to list distance from Sol (though we could do that), since you are allways able to tell where you are in relation to everything else on the map.
