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.

Yes, I am sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. I just have the big hope that someday somebody might find a nice asteroid base maybe at -20000 / 1000 or south. It is so very cold and lonely out here west of the center.

See? Thus my eyes are always fixed on the numbers in this thread first simply to see at first glance if something closer than Medusa's rock was finally found.

POI Name: NGC 6884 Nebula
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
GalMap Ref: CSI+46-20087

Desc: "NGC 6884 (also known as NGC 6766) is a small planetary nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. The nebula is a vivid green hue, which makes for an excellent contrast against the blue-violet of the host star. The star appears to have shed most of its mass, currently only having 0.76 solar masses. The WN5 spectral type indicates this star was once an O-class star with between 20 and 45 solar masses. There are currently four metal-rich worlds orbiting the star, of which the final is suitable for starship landing.

The nebula's discovery has a curious history. It was independently discovered twice: First by Edward Pickering on May 8, 1883; and again by Ralph Copeland on Sep 20, 1884. Pickering provided the wrong sky coordinates for the object, and these were published in the New General Catalog. Due to this error NGC 6766 was considered "lost" for more than a century, when astronomer Dave Riddle uncovered the error and realized it was the same object as NGC 6884."

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

I'm bad at giving names and I haven't got the "F10" Reflex yet, but I'll try to improve

POI Name: New Beginning
POI Type: Asteroid Base
GalMap Ref: Rosette Sector CQ-Y D59

20170505162719_1.jpg

Description: New Beginning is an asteroid base in the Rosette sector, a nebula located approx. 5.000 LY away from the Bubble towards the edge of the galaxy. Getting here is tricky as there is a "wall" of permit-locked sectors in-between. One of the best ways around is to plan a large detour through the Synuefe > Wregoe > Outotz > Hegoo sectors, after which the route is pretty much straightforward. The base offers basic services and a nice "raw" interior (see pic).

POI Name: Blue Flash Nebula
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
GalMap Ref: CSI+19-20201

Desc: "The Blue Flash Nebula (also known as NGC 6905) is a standard planetary nebula surrounding a Wolf-Rayet star. The nebula is a light blue color, and best seen from outside the nebula proper. The nebula was discovered by William Herschel in 1784. Two hot, high-metal worlds can be found in orbit of the host star. "

Author's note: The WR star is listed as over 9 billion years old and with only 0.5 solar masses. This is almost certainly not a true WR star, but a Wolf-Rayet-type star; white-dwarves with spectral signatures similar to WR stars because of the nebula. FDev most likely read the [WR] spectral type and didn't look more closely.

POI Name: NGC 7027 Nebula
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
GalMap Ref: BD+41 4004

Desc: "NGC 7027 is a planetary nebula in the constellation Cygnus. It was discovered in 1878 by Édouard Stephan, using the 31 inch reflector at Marseille Observatory. It is one of the smallest planetary nebulae, and by far the most extensively studied. The nebula has a common bi-polar structure and a blue-green color. The nebula is unusually small, only 0.2 by 0.1 Ly, and believed to be very young, having formed around earth year 1400. The central star is a low-mass Wolf-Rayet star, with a companion M-class dwarf at almost 440,000 light-seconds distance. The dwarf has a number of small bodies including a high-metal world terraforming candidate."

POI Name: IC 5117 Nebula
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
GalMap Ref: CSI+44-21305

Desc: "IC 5117 is a dark blue planetary nebula proceeding from mass expulsion from a Wolf-Rayet star. The primary has two gas giants and a heavy metal world; there is also an M-class body with a collection of rocky worlds. This nebula was originally discovered by Williamina Fleming in 1905. Fleming was unusual as a female astronomer during that time. Famously, she was originally working as a maid. Her employer, a professor of astronomy at Harvard, was so dissatisfied with the work of his assistants that he claimed 'My maid could do a better job.' And she did, becoming one of the most famous female astronomers of the 19th century, and an honorary member of the Royal Astronomical Society. "

Description: A somewhat diffuse, red and green nebula located just beyond the Festival Grounds. So named because those approaching it from the galactic core noticed that it resembled a peacock with tail feathers outstretched.

Today I found a young star, a VERY young star. The stats say 00,0 MY. Thus we can assume this baby is younger than 100.000 years.

O0 VZ class stars all say that; it's not unusual.

Also, I wouldn't get hung up on the "0.00" as being exact; in-game display says < 1 million years, and I assume this to be the correct value.

O0 VZ stars should be very interesting objects to study but alas, the game just makes them normal O-type stars with an extremely low age. VZ is synonymous with 'Main Sequence (V) Zero (Z)'. In other terms it's also called a ZAMS for Zero Age Main Sequence, although this can also apply to other spectral classes.

In essence, it's a huge, luminous star that 'just' made it from a protostar (most likely a Herbig-Haro Object) onto the main sequence by starting to fuse its hydrogen to helium. Massive protostars need some 10,000 to 30,000 years to reach that stage after their parent cloud collapsed. Most procedural O-type stars in the game seem to be of this type, most likely because assigning the stellar propertes of 'proper' O-type stars is too difficult or resource consuming for the Forge, I don't know.

tl;dr: They are exceedingly common in terms of O-types.

See here: List of O-type stars

Deep Space Industries are a Independent Democracy that have established this Asteroid base in the California Sector. They are working with the Alliance to help establish an Outpost in the area to accompany their planetary base. As you would expect for such work the station contains all services except for Shipyard and Outfitting service.

I understand I have a lot to explore still.
