Planetary (Surface?) Feature Submission
Name: Petica (Named for "Five" in the Bosnian language)
Game map search ref: Byeia Aed WU-X D1-15 5
Description: Petica is a terraformable water world located in the Circinus Transit. The planet harbors a strange group of five recurring storm systems, arranging themselves to form in a shape very similar to the "5" side on playing dice. The planet's fairly quick rotation time of 0.7 days ensure the light coverage changes often.
A superstition among explorers claims that the five storms' visibility on arrival can foretell a traveler's future.
If you arrive and "roll" a good dice, where the five storms are fully visible, you are set to make a safe and fruitful journey.
However, if the storms are fully in darkness, an adventurer will find themselves in treacherous travels.

Here are two separate POIs from the Aronnax Expedition. The first is for the survey of the Bleia permit-locked region, the second is a scenic POI encountered today in the Styx region whilst en route to Praei. Two screenshots accompany each POI: the first provided in each case is my own first choice if only a single screenshot is permissible, however the second screenshot is required for the Close Cousins POI to demonstrate the oddity of the orbital arrangement.

Bleia border summary, from the Aronnax Expedition
Map Ref: Hyuqau FN-H d11-3454
.
In November 3303 the Aronnax Expedition conducted a survey on the borders of Bleia for signs of spacefaring activity, as well as outdoor worlds and systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting ('green' systems). A good location for a 'Forward Base' was discovered just under 400 LY from the Bleia3 border: Hyuqau FN-H d11-3454 not only hosts an Earth-like World but it is located close to a group of neutron stars - there are nine within 50 LY - allowing quick access towards or away from the border. The region around the Forward Base system was found to host an unusual number of worlds with surface conditions compatible with organic structures. The Bleia borders are vast and the expedition can barely be considered to have scratched the surface, however the region surveyed contained many more Ammonia Worlds than Earth-like Worlds, with nine Ammonia Worlds being found but only two Earth-likes; full details on the expedition's findings are given in the journal here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6152336&viewfull=1#post6152336
.
Minor POI: 'Close Cousins'
Map ref: Pyuefua XO-P b39-1
.
Pyuefua XO-P b39-1 A 1 is a class IV gas giant in a 0.3 day orbit of a red dwarf star and yet planet A 2 manages to orbit the same star with an orbital period of just 0.8 days, bringing it very close to the gravitational influence of its gas giant neighbour yet not being captured by it. This may be the closest arrangement of a gas giant and a terrestrial world that is possible without them being either in a binary configuration or one of them being a moon of the other. Planet A 2 is a landable high metal content world with a radius of just 802 km and silicate vapour geysers reported by the detailed surface scanner. The view from the surface of A 2 changes rapidly as the planet and its close cousin both orbit around their parent star so quickly.

Vegnoae BK-R d4-1105 A 1 & 2 orbit so close to each other that their ring systems almost touch.
Hyuqau LO-F d12-5557 hosts a neutron star with a jink in its axis of rotation, perhaps due to its close proximity to a binary pair of main sequence stars.

Name: Eta Carina Depot
Type: Jumponium rich system
Map reference: Eta Carina Sector GM-U b3-0
Description: Located within the Eta Carina nebula, this system has all of the required materials for FSD injection synthesis. The planets are all within 2,000 light seconds of the primary star, making for a relatively short travel time to find the materials you need.
(an aside-- EDSM shows me as the 3rd visitor, but everything in the system has my tag, since no one else had scanned there)
EDIT: Corrected image link.

Category:tourism
Description: This system contains two stars, the M-class secondary has 1 Earth like World (proposed name D'Artagnan) and 3 Water Worlds orbiting around it. Unfortunately, none of them terraformable, but I tought that might be a POI of future scientific and touristic attractions.
The WWs are named after the Three Muskeeters, Portos, Athos and Aramis.

CMDR: Orvidius
Name: Azure Respite
Type: Planetary Nebula
Map reference: Dumbio YO-A e308
Description: A small blue supernova remnant, surrounding a black hole and a secondary star with seven landable planets. Several jumponium materials are available, but not the entire list. The blue nebula makes for some light, peaceful looking skies from each of the worlds. It lies approximately 3kls "northeast" of Colonia, somewhat between the paths toward Sagittarius-A*, and other points beyond, such as Beagle Point.

Name: The Smokehole
Game map search ref: Eocs Aoscs YR-A D14-8 (8 D A)
Type: Geysers
Description: The Smokehole is a site of silicate geyser activity on the 8 D A object in the system.
It is located in a depression inside a valley, at the coordinates (-51.9411 105.4576).
Available rare materials include Arsenic, Cadmium, Ruthenium and Tin.
Arriving at the right time can grant you a stunning view of the much larger white moon it's orbiting quite closely.

Name: Necropolis Chasm
Game map search ref: Pyraniae XA-V C16-3 (2 B A)
Type: Iron Magma volcanism
Description: Necropolis Chasm is a field of dormant volcanic outcrops. Preliminary examination has shown the volcanoes to be mostly dead, with very little activity sighted, apart from black puffs of smoke.
The site is located at the coordinates (0.2105 27.6687) very close to the equator, resting near the side of a valley.
The high cliff above it often causes it to be steeped in shadow, filling the site with complete darkness during daytime. This can make it difficult to locate, so use of the POI-scanner at maximum field of view is highly advised.
Volcanoes often appear to jump out of the pitch black darkness as they are lit, and combined with the ominous lack of activity, the site can be likened to a geological graveyard.
In addition, the material deposits are stained a dark, bloody red colour, adding to the grim atmosphere.
Materials that can be found include Vanadium, Selenium, Niobium, Yttrium and Mercury.

Just an update, I got a nice photo from Draco Rufus Claim (Hypaa Proae BV-P d5-13) showing the ELW and whatnot.
This one shows both stars (Red Giant and M Dwarf), plus the earth like world and it's binary twin in the distance.

The close-orbiting ringed worlds in Vegnoae BK-R d4-1105 were one of the visual highlights of my survey of the Bleia border. It was my intent that either my text or just a link to the Aronnax Expedition journal be added to the entry for the Bleia permit region, in the way that it was done for e.g. Sidgoir and Hyponia. If you think the two ringed worlds are worthy of inclusion as their own POI, then I'll have to come up with a name and a brief description.
I've added your description to the Bleia1 entry, and linked your report.
As for the twin ringed worlds, yes thats worthy as a POI entry in its own right, hence its addition. Just needs a name and a description.
POI Submission
Name: Sagan Springs
Type: Volcanism (Water Magma)
Game search reference: Hypi Aoscs IR-D D12-8
Location in system: Moon 10 D A, coordinates -46.3662 -9.8458
Description:
Sagan Springs is a field of highly active water volcanism near the north end of the Norma Expanse.
The site's discoverer was examining the ancient 21st century astronomer Carl Sagan's works as she was alerted by her ship's scanner to the site, leading to its name.
Sagan Springs exhibits powerful activity, with roughly half the vents in the surface being active at the same time.
Jets of high pressure water burst out of the surface, quickly vaporizing into gas up to 30 meters above.
Visitors are highly advised to double-check their landing sites, as to not set down upon a seemingly dormant fissure.
In addition, the highly energetic water flows can launch a SRV over 1000 meters upwards, potentially causing catastrophic damage.
Materials that can be found as deposits in the site include Chromium, Germanium, Zinc, Molybdenium, Ruthenium and Tungsten.

Just an irrelevant update; MANY months ago I started my own little mission to map the Gallipolis area, and I took a trip there. However I only ever logged about 2 things because I couldn't find much (ie had a short attention span), and I thought about going back, but I don't think I will. Again I would be amazed if anyone actually remembers it, but there are several things in exploration that I've hyped but not followed through on because I'm poor at committing, and this is me giving up on this one
@Erimus
Would it be possible to add the following at the entry of Belle de Fontenay?
"Original discovery of the planet by CMDR Astronut. Fungal life discovered during the Luxury Tour of Deep Space Network in the Autumn of 3303."
Thanks!

Hi Erimus - Hi all,
end of October 3303 I started my Exploration tripto the Perseus Stem. As you know a very interesting region with many massive systems.
Two days ago I was very luck to discover first this system:
in itself nothing special but this black hole has a planetary nebula
I was so exited that I took a rush to MAGELLAN - our home system of PaX (near Colonia).
Since last night this system / nebula wears my name and I would be happy if it would enrich this great project.
[video=youtube;uti0yuvp-I4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uti0yuvp-I4[/video]
Attention when visiting this system: one the 3 stars is very near to the black hole!
Scanning and also dropping in the black hole is possible but temperature will raise to 60.
Make sure that you enter this BH face to this K-star. Otherwise the cursing will be hot and dangerous!
EDSM reference: https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/18927571/name/Phroea+Bli+BW-V+e2-10185
I named this planetary nebula "Hot Temptation"
Save travels!
