While not common, this is not uncommon enough to warrant a POI. If you can find a system with five or more, however....
I'm struggling to justify this as a POI. The type of body is not unusual; the rings are not unusual; there's nothing else listed in the system unusual; and there will be millions of other planets like it, near the core, for a similar view.
NEW POI
Name: Hades Depot
Location: Phrae Griaa ZE-A g2
Type: Jumponium Rich System
Description: "Deep below the plane, on the boundary between the Orio-Persean Conflux and Perseus Stem, this system contains every possible material that can be harvested from a planetary surface. This is also called a "gold" system. The system is made even more unusual by having a central black hole. Planets are lit only from the dim glow of T-class dwarf stars. With little light and a black hole overhead, prospecting on these planets is an eerie experience.
All materials not listed below are found on five or more bodies.

Not uncommon? Black Holes and Neutrons are more common. in 14,000 visited systems this is the only one I have ever seen. When I asked the other pilots of the Mobius Exploration Corps if they had come across it before, no-one (of 200 members) had seen one like this. It's defiantly rare.
But I will keep my eyes pealed for a Quintet!

I posted one here some time back. The consensus was "not quite rare enough". It's one of those things that people often overlook, but happens more than you think.
New POI
Name: The View
Galmap Ref: HR 6164
Description: "At only 1400 light-years from Sol, HR 6164 is a popular destination for tourists. The bright O-class star, a neutron star, and two black holes are easily visible from the first planet; along with a excellent view of the planet's rings. The location has simply been labeled 'The View', and a beacon has been established here by Universal Cartographics. Additionally a tourist installation has been installed just outside the jet-cone of the neutron star and provides breathtaking views of this phenomena.
Pilots should be aware of the dangers in visiting. The planet's gravity is 3.30g which may be a surprise for novices. The tourist installation is located extremely close to the neutron star jet-cone; falling into this cone in normal space will cause extreme damage to your vessel. Approach should be made with great caution."

Update: there's a typo in your post, the system's name is IC 1396 Sector RU-F d11-7.
Also, these are the only known moons around Earth-like worlds that have surface volcanism of their own.
With this in mind, I'd suggest a different description:
"This system was the first discovered to house an extremely rare planetary configuration: an Earth-like world that orbits a parent body as its moon, and has a landable moon of its own. Due to such unique orbital characteristics, the Earth-like world and its moon orbit much closer together than they otherwise would, offering Commanders excellent views from the moon's surface. If observed at the right times, not only is the gas giant visible, but also the NGC 7822 complex, and the S171 star cluster embedded in it.
In addition to the above, such moons have active volcanism, although no sites have been found on this moon yet."
Although the latter part is likely because the moon is considerably larger than the good candidates for finding volcanic sites.
By the way, the other two such systems are Eoch Pri AC-B d1-18 (FD by CMDR Guywano) and Prua Phoe UT-H d10-47 (FD by CMDR Maleks). I don't know if there's any protocol for submitting stuff that weren't your finds though, if they don't have their own names (like the tourist beacon above) yet.
I mean no offense by this, but I think that description doesn't describe well enough how rare that planet actually is. As far as I know, there are very few - only three- Earth-like moons that have a landable moon of their own, and since said moons orbit them very closely, they offer far closer views of their parents than other moons do.

update 08/10/2017
Update (posts #2168 to #2226) (more to come.... later)
Added:
* New deep space outpost, Eudaemon Anchorage - Rohini Chapter-house for Patrons of the Conflux
* Meridian West Depot - from the Deep Space Depot Project thread
* Eastern Via Maris Depot - from the Deep Space Depot Project thread
* IC 1805 - split off from Altera's Eye entry
* Erik's World
* Ōku Nami
* Hades Depot
* The View
* Earth-Like Dance With Giant (thanks to Cmdr marx for additional help on description)
Pending:
* Syrumbo Deeps Depot (Syrumbo QU-O E6-10) - needs distances from trilateration
* The Chase (#2215) - under discussion about suitability as POI
Updated:
* Sidgoir permit locked entry updated with information from Aronnax Expedition
* Thueche Brahe Nebula - image added
* Delos - image added (thank you to DVHeld)
* M21 - fixed description and image added (thank you to DVHeld)
* Altera's Eye - remove reference to megaliner, split IC 1805 into own entry
* Formadine Rift Abandoned Settlements - site names added
* Guardian Ruins Skaudai sites - removed reference to it being the only one outside Regor sector
Not Added:
* post 2177 - per general rules on not adding things inside the bubble
* Vela Prospect - not clear what type of POI this is supposed to be. 24 HMCs in one world is high, but not record-breaking (current high is 39). If this is a Jumponium system, please indicate what planets contain jumponium materials
* Space Rainbow - the body type isn't rare, rotating planet isn't rare, view of the core isn't rare
* Ceathrar Deartháireacha (Four Brothers) - not that unusual
* The Treasure (Scutum-Sagitarii Conflux Golden Depot) - two existing depots (Omega Depot, Lagoon Dept) already in this area
* Ogairy Dead Zone - this appears to be a regular part of the Neutron Fields. The high density would make the number of black holes in a 1000 ly range not all that strange, as far as I can tell

Syrumbo scoop and supercharge - new 'golden' system
Location: Syrumbo QU-O E6-10
Here is a new 'golden' system with all materials, including pretty good drop rates for jumponium. Not only can you scoop all raw materials and fuel, you can supercharge your FSD from the neutron star! It is located far below the galactic plane; approximate coordinates are (-5050, -2855, 23170). Needs a manual entry (Xbox...sorry...
) but I have distances for trilateration.
How much information would you like on the material percentages? Just maximum available in system, or all data for each planet? As a starter, here are the maximum jumponium rates:
V: 8.7%
Ge: 5.8%
Cd: 3.2%
Nb: 2.8%
As: 2.5%
Y: 2.0%
Po: 1.0%
Not terribly scenic but here's a snap:

| Name: | The Chase |
| Game map search ref: | Eos Audst FS-W c1-24 |
| Description: | The 3rd planet is a "trojan" planet. It sits at the L4 or L5 Lagrange point of another pair of bodies, in this case the 2nd planet (a gas giant) and the system's star. The two planets effectively share an orbit. While groups of asteroids at the Lagrange points are relatively common (first discovered in the 20th century, at Jupiter's L4 and L5 points), it is rare to see a planet of significant mass. Planet 3 is quite large, nearly twice the mass of Earth! |

| Name: | Ogairy Dead Zone |
| Game map search ref: | Ogairy BV-X e1-1913 |
| Description: | This vast field of black holes stretches across 1000 light years of the Near 3kpc Arm, perhaps more, containing at least 120 black holes. It shares the area with a relatively high density of neutron stars, with an extremely dense neutron field just next to it, in the Ogainks sector. Near the centre of the formation is a trio of systems, each having a black hole primary, and a neutron star secondary. Despite its name, there is no lack of normal main sequence stars here, including some with earthlike worlds around them. The stellar composition and density is comparable with the rest of the Arm. |

Is this another possible collision candidate? Though I guess it'd probably take a lot longer to catch up with the other planet than the moons in here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/355621-Exploration-When-worlds-colide
Well, yes. Personally, I don't count non-procedural stuff, nor terraformed worlds. The latter obey less strict criteria than "natural" Earth-likes do, so they can exist as ELWs where generated ELWs wouldn't be.
AFAIK this should be stable in Elite, not sure about reality. One Moon origin hypothesis is that the body (Theia) that crashed into proto-Earth was at first sitting at the L5, before other bodies + instabilities pushed it to a collision course.
Since the planet in this system is less than 10% the mass of the gas giant it shares an orbit with, this may be a stable system in reality as well. I don't have the math well enough in hand to tell you.
Hunt for trojans has a spreadsheet with 10 confirmed cases, several dozen false candidates and some unconfirmed.
I believe it's a "feature" introduced in 2.2 or 2.3 or something. Only landables rotate, and it's been very consistent, totally independant of listed rotation rate. It may perhaps mean something when planets get more colour and surface variation.
