Nebula Submission

Name: Shade of Anubis


Game map search ref: HYPOE PLOE AA-A H27


Description: The formation of this nebula located in the Gallipolis region looks similar to the ancient Egyptian god Anubis. At 24,296ly from Sol it is on a less traveled course towards those heading to Beagle Point. The nebula is a beautiful deep red, but is easily missed for those in the area due to it being fairly small and only containing a handful of systems compared to some of the larger nebula's in the near galactic neighborhood.

A neutron star system that also contains an ammonia world and an ELW is not so rare to be a POI right?

I would say it depends on where in the galaxy it is located. If it is in an area of the map with few preexisting POIs, then we might consider it.

As always - a good writeup and impressive screenshot is points in favor...

Ok thank you very much. I ll post my findings when my journey ends, and hopefully something worth seeing will come up for the community.
 
System submission

CMDR: Orvidius
Name: Undine Haven
Type: Planetary Features
Map reference: Phroi Bluae LS-B d13-744

Description: Consisting of a neutron primary star, and two secondary stars, this system is a true aquatic haven. The further of the secondary stars, at a distance of about 28kls, is orbited by no less than six water worlds, all of which are terraforming candidates, as is the high metal content world that shares the same star, making it a high value source of scan data. The term "Undine" refers to mythological water spirits, and first appears in the alchemical writings of Paracelsus.

Nebula Submission

Hello! I was poking around the edsm starmap and was surprised that I didn't find this nebula marked there, as it's not particularly small or remote. If it has been submitted and somehow I missed it, please correct me! If not, though, let me introduced EOR AUSCS AA-A H18, which I'm calling the Shrouded Nebula.



Name:Shrouded Nebula
Game map search ref:Eor Auscs XV-K D9-2074
Description:An average sized nebula in the Near 3kpc Arm, its Sol-facing half is covered by a thick dark region that hides it from view, resulting in any viewer from that side seeing only a small portion of the nebula and a large black patch of stars that looks somewhat like a hole in the galactic core. Through to the opposite side, however, it is illuminated in brilliant hues of rust and violet. It also contains many neutron stars and white dwarf stars.

I realize you only need the one image of the nebula, but I wanted to share the contrasting views from both sides. Facing Sol (or more directly The Gallipolis):

It looks like a hole in the galaxy


But in through you get:

Pretty colours!
 
System submission

CMDR: Han Zulu
Name: Three Angels of Death
Type: Rare system configuration
Map reference: Phrio Hypue AA-A h0
EDSM Link: https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/2482903/name/Phrio+Hypue+AA-A+h0
First Discovered by: CMDR Ripster for ED, and Cyalope for EDSM in 28th April, 2016

Description: A system that only contains three black holes. First discovered by CMDR Ripster. Two of the black holes are less than 0.01 AU from each other and have an orbital period of 0.1 D. The third black hole is fairly close by as well with an orbital period of 4.4 D. The central black hole has the mass of 29 solar masses. The three angels of death are named Abaddon, also called Apollyon, which is the destroying angel in Book of Revelation in the New Testament, Azrael, also known as Malak al-Maut from Islam, and Mot, angel of death from the Hebraic Book of Habakkuk.

Planetary Nebula Submission

Name: Clockwork Nebula

Game map search ref: EOCH FLYUAE PY-R E4-684

Description: A blue and purple planetary nebula located approximately 200 LY away from Vihara Gate on the way to Colonia. The system is a binary one including a neutron star. You can land on A1A.

Possible Tourism Candidate submission

type: ∅ - Planetary POI

Name: Venenum Geminos

Game map search ref: PHRAA FLYUAE XF-E C28-8482, A 2 and A 3

Description: A binary ammonia worlds, located in the galactic bar, 2,674 LY from Sagittarius A* in the direction of the Colonia region.
Both of those planets are relatively light and small, ranging from 0.1 to 0.2 earth masses and radius not exceeding 3,700 km.
Laying close to the galactic center on the path to Colonia makes Venenum Geminos a good candidates for a tourism attraction.
Discovered by CMDR Fru.

My first submission of the Minerva Centaurus Expedition!

Name: Minerva's Crown

Game map search ref: PRAI PRUAE CL-Y G0

Description:
Located in the Scutum-Centaurus arm of the galaxy, and found during the Minerva Centaurus Expedition in January 3304.
A wonderful and unusual combination of a primary Class O star, with Herbig, T-Tauri, and Class B Stars arranged in the system. With this stellar configuration looking like jewels in a crown. Hence the name of Minerva's Crown, for the Roman Goddess that the Minerva Centaurus Expedition is named after.

This is intended to be an addition to the entry for the permit-locked NGC 3603 Sector, which currently has no details on the region, even it's size. It is smaller than most of the other permit-locked regions (Sidgoir being the exception) so after finding enough of interest for future explorers and with the arrival of a new update now imminent, I only spent a few days here.

NGC 3603 Sector border summary, from the Aronnax Expedition
Map Ref: Flyai Hypa ZW-R d5-24
.
The Aronnax Expedition reached the vicinity of the permit-locked NGC 3603 Sector on 8th January 3304 and spent five days surveying the borders for signs of spacefaring activity, as well as outdoor worlds and systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting ('green' systems). A circumnavigation of the region showed it to be a sphere approximately 280 LY in diameter centred 180 LY below the Galactic Plane. The location identified as being most suitable for a Forward Base hosts not only an Earth-like World but an Ammonia World moon and the resource survey located not only the expected green systems but also two 'gold' systems, where all materials can be found, close to the border. Full details can be found in the expedition journal: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6292030&viewfull=1#post6292030

Just came across a ring that I can see from 2500 ls, which I don't think I have seen before - is it worth adding as a POI? Outer radius is 70 ls, but I lack any real knowlege to know if it is unusual enough :)

Bah! Thought I was on to something... :(

Funny though, after travelling thousands of LYs and only finding one other (round a more normal star), imagine my glee to have found my second one around a neutron star! :)

The way I understand, if it was special and you can write something about it then it deserves to be on the map so do not give up :)
