Yes, first i landed on the geysers where i found them and the rings was also spectacular from there, allthough the geysers were not spitting anything. Then afterwards i went to the tourist beacon but no rings there. Yes the only coordinates given on EDSM are for the geysers place, because the other site has a beacon

Fantastic picture ! So good to see the place again
especially from a fellow explorer's perpsective. I think the beacon is broken as explained by the EDSM page, for some reason, the beacon is like 1000km below the surface of the planet. The picture provided by Rojo Habe didnt come with coordinates, but if you just fly toward the rings from the geysers, you will come across scenes similar to Rojo's. Here is one of mine from a location very close to Diamond Geysers.

Nice photo!
The beacon is on the surface, just in the wrong place:
Oh weird ! Must have been updated since i was there, it was below the surface around October 2017, interestingly then, it seems they moved the beacon to the surface, but put it somewhere that you can't see the rings haha ! That's just Grand
Will need fixing then.
Greetings all - and happy new year

Rings Shore
Smaidiae IZ-M d8-7
Body: 1 A
Moon Orbiting extremely close to the parent gas giants rings. Orbit is so close that the rings edge reaches beyond the orbital cruise distance of the moon. Aside from the mountains and canyons that are abundant on the moon there are even supposed to be silicate vapour geysers, but I wasn't able to locate any of them.

This is an addendum to the entry on the Dryman permit-locked region. The current entry has no detail on the surrounding region and no image, something that can now be rectified thanks to the Aronnax Expedition. I chose an image that gives a view across the Galactic Plane with one of the visual highlights of the visit in the foreground, so as to give an idea as to the region's location near the edge of the Scutum-Centaurus Arm.
Dryman border summary, from the Aronnax Expedition
Map Ref: Eol Pruae KT-O d7-79
The Aronnax Expedition reached the vicinity of the permit-locked Dryman sector on 28th December 3303 and spent a week surveying the region for signs of spacefaring activity, as well as outdoor worlds and systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting ('green' systems). An excellent location for a 'Forward Base' was found: Eol Pruae KT-O d7-79 hosts an Earth-like World that is in a trinary configuration with two ringed gas giants which are in a circumbinary orbit about the system's two stars; the system is green with high abundances of some materials and there are also six worlds here with volcanism and surface temperatures compatible with organic structures. High abundances of Polonium were found to be more common than expected in this region and an unusual number of moons in close but inclined orbits provide some scenery that bodes well for future tourism. Full details can be found in the expedition journal: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6271501&viewfull=1#post6271501

The thin ring of Dryu Aub ZJ-A d27 3 with planet 2 in the background.
The discovery of Guardian ruins within the Prai Hypoo AA-A H60 nebula has made me aware of the fact that this nebula has not been named and submitted to the GMP.
So this one is up for grabs, people. Who can provide a cool screenshot of the nebula and come up with a good name?

Guardians Hideout ?
It has typical shape, so what about photo like this from Prai Hypoo QC-C d20
Name: Dumboe nebula (feel free to rename if any ideas)
POI type: planetary nebula
Galmap ref: Dumboe XE-R e4-1219
Desc: Black hole system with couple of brown dwarfs and plenty of landable bodies full of jumponium materials.
Photo:
Name: Pha Aob nebula (feel free to rename if any ideas)
POI type: planetary nebula
Galmap ref: Pha Aob MM-W e1-3878
Desc: Black hole system being orbited by couple of yellow suns. No landable bodies apart from water world being a terraforming candidate.

Thanks for the image! But 'Guardians Hideout Nebula' gets a little long...
If no one else has a suggestion I would propose the name for the Prai Hypoo nebula to be "Àrsaidh Nebula" (Ancients Nebula) - to use part of the names suggested earlier by FilmExile (post #2429 and #2430). I was not able to use these names as suggested, as the Guardian sites they pointed to where located in other nebulae already named.
