Thank you, Andrew. Will amend the proposed POI name accordingly

Thank you Sir!
Hmm, Seven Sages. You aren't a fan of Sumerian or Greek mythology perchance?
Pretty much that plus luck
You can check Madraptors thread, there are few people explaining their ways of finding volcanism. One example of recorded by me succesful hunt

Damn, that's beautiful!
POI name: Christmas tree nebula
POI type: nebula
Galmap ref: Hypiae Ausms GN-Q d6-11
Nebula was named because of it's vague similarity to christmas decorations used by some people on Earth hundreds of years ago. In reference system there is earth-like planet with metal-rich ring around it, not a common find.
Visiting the nebula you can stop at one of many volcanic sites:
Hypiae Ausms JU-I c12-1 2A -74.17 -132.74 water geysers
Hypiae Ausms IU-I c12-0 AB 1B 40.76 3.9 iron magma fumaroles

Points for originality, how did you end up with that name?
POI Name: NGC 2792
POI Type: Planetary Nebula
Galmap Ref: CD-41 4893
Desc: "NGC 2792 is a green planetary nebula located in Vela. The nebula was discovered by John Herschel on March 2nd, 1835. This nebula is being created in the typical fashion by a Wolf-Rayet star expelling its' outer layers.
The host star has several smaller bodies, including one Y-class dwarf with very large rings. The inner diameter is 35.24 light seconds and the outer diameter is 88.80 light seconds for a total ring width of 53.56 light seconds. The rings mass 3.80 x 10^17 kg, or just over twice as much as Naiad, the innermost satellite of Neptune. These rings are nearly translucent against the green nebula background."

POI Name: The Smorgasbord
POI Type: Stellar Features
Galmap Ref: EORD BLOOE AA-A H344
Description: Discovered during an independent survey of over 800 high-mass systems in the EORD BLOOE sector, this system features a rather interesting medley of stellar bodies all in orbit around a 50 Solar Mass black hole: an M-class red dwarf, an M-class red giant, a ringed neutron star and an F-class finishing off the lineup. This system lends itself to some interesting views; barring the exotic nature of the ringed neutron star itself, the brown dwarf that orbits the giant does so at a mere 0.32AU, providing an interesting backdrop.

| POI name: Llyn Tegid Nebula |
Galmap ref: Clooku WO-Z E3682
Desc: A wonderous blue planetary nebula (originaly discovered by CMDR EPIK) that is illuminated by a Neutron Star and a class F White Star in combination.
Named after Llyn Tegid, the original Welsh name for Lake Bala in Wales. A place rich in local folklore and legend. including the tales of the Goddess Ceridwen. Here she is said to have attempted to brew a liquid form of pure inspiration and knowledge, known as the Awen. But by accident the Awen was transfered to a boy who worked for Ceridwen, who became the legendary poet Taliesin.
POI Name: The Crux
POI Type: Black Hole/Pulsars
Galmap Ref: NUEKUAE AA-A H52
Description: My first POI to share with you guys. Found it last night. Curiously enough it appears that someone entered the system before me (KLEPTOTRONIC) and scanned the initial black hole but did not venture beyond that to find what I think really makes this an interesting system (Not that a 30 Solar Mass Black Hole isn't pretty neat on its own).
A tight binary pair of pulsars with a third pulsar also, in a tight orbit with jets point perpendicularly to the binary pair. When viewed from a particular angle it looks like a cross, hence the name "The Crux."
Also of note in the system is a ringed Brown Dwarf.
I have also included the UC info on the nearest landable planet, orbiting a class IV gas giant.

On part of an undisclosed mission I propose the
Monoceros Beacon
POI: Beacon System
System Ref.: Jongoi MF-A d0
Description: The Monoceros Beacon was lit in June 3303 by a group of adventurous explorers commissioned by the Explorers Association on an unspecified mission. The system lies along the galactic plane and almost exactly at coordinates 10,000 to -10,000, deep inside the Perseus Fade. Stellar density is very low in this area and the system can only be reached by a dedicated, engineered exploration ship with multiple FSD injections. Even then, travellers may have to put their ships 'on fumes' at times.
Extreme caution is advised. The last systems either have no planets at all or planets that do not have the correct resources to replenish FSD injection elements.

I've been asked to add this system to the list of Galactic POIs:
It has 12 (twelve) Terraformable Candidates in one system. Just add water for an instant Empire. I'd like to name it "The Maker's Dozen"
It can be found at:
STUEMEAE ET-F D12-7473
and if you're quick I left 3 moons untagged.

POI Update:
POI Name: NGC 2818
Desc update: "NGC 2818 is a blue and pink planetary nebula in southern Pyxis constellation. It was discovered by James Dunlop on May 28, 1826. The nebula is part of the larger star cluster known as NGC 2818A. The host star is a Wolf-Rayet star, and the system has two subdwarfs, a gas giant and two rocky planets.
When the tourism industry was deregulated in 3302 and all pilots were allowed to accept passengers, the nebula was desginated as a tourism spot with the name of 'Glorious Nebula'. At almost 8500 Ly it was a destination for only very wealthy sight-seekers and scientists with large bankrolls. Despite the handsome payouts, 'Glorious Nebula' quickly earned a notorious reputation with pilots due to the difficulty in reaching the location. The nebula is 1300 Ly above the galactic plane in an area of very thin star density. Those who wish to reach it will need a ship with long range, premium FSD injections, and one or more neutron star boosts.
Pilot advice on reaching Glorious Nebula can be found here, here, and here."
