Plus you have a ringed star, that's pretty unusual on itself.

Whoaa, I thought there could not be ELWs around black holes!
Plus you have a ringed star, that's pretty unusual on itself.
ELWs are possible around black holes, if there are other stars present that can heat them. Generally, the ELWs either orbit the black hole itself, and other primaries heat them up, or they are moons (ELMs) of a star that orbits the BH.
Some numbers on their rarity: out of 13,479 ELWs on the ELW list, 38 are in systems where the main star is a Black Hole. Of these, there are 13 cases where there's only one primary star, meaning the planet is an ELM around a star that orbits the BH.
So, congrats on your very rare find again!

Name: Kaw Nebula
Type: Nebula
Reference System: Boepp XA-D d13-1042
Description:
At nearly 17,000 LY from Sol, this distant nebula glows with blue and gold. It sits a relatively close 400 LY from the meridian, making a very simple excursion on a path from Sol to Sagittarius A.

Name: Guardian's Hope
System: Boepp UE-Q e5-2104
Type: Stellar Feature
Description:
With a 12-minute orbit, the gas giant visibly rotates around the primary Herbig Ae/Be star. However, entering this system is dangerous as the larger T Tauri orbits only 8 LS away from the primary star. At less than 600 Ly away from the miridian, this visually enchanting system makes a hypnotic waypoint on a direct route to or from the galaxy's center.

Name: Lovelace nebula
Reference System: IOWHAIL UD-T E3-2768
Type: Nebula
Description:
This dark nebula glows faintly of blue and red. On approach, it's primarily seen by the light it blocks rather than provides. Inside the nebula, the galactic plane dims from the dust and gas. Situated over 16,000 LY from Sol, this nebula is out of the way, even for a run to Sagittarius A or Colonia.

Name: Dragonwisp Nebula
Reference System: BYUA AIM KT-F D12-381
Type: Nebula
Description:
In the middle of a field of neutron stars and white dwarves, this dark nebula soars 1000 LY above the galactic plane. From outside the nebula, the dust and gas obscure light beyond it. Inside, the nebula glows with crimson and pink.

Name: Forrest Nebula
Reference System: BYUA AIM AA-A H16
Type: Nebula
Description:
A large nebula of dust and gas, this dark nebula can be seen more by the light it blocks than what it produces. The blue and gold glow is so faint that it can primarily be seen within the nebula itself. This nebula was named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, a polarizing figure who was a war general that turned humanitarian later in life

Note:
That H16 is the system reference found in Byua Aim AW-D d12-1612 notes. If that doesn't show up, you can use BYUA AIM ZY-I A68-2.

A small nebula that glows reds, this nebula sits over 1100 LY above the galactic plane and over 16,000LY from Sol.

Name: BYAA AIN Rings
Body: BYAA AIN QA-J C11-144 3
Type: Planetary Feature
Description:
Twin ringed planets with high metal content orbit each other less than 1 lightsecond away. Each planet's rings are perpendicular to other other's, allowing for fascinating views. While both planets are landable, the 1.5 gravity planet is preferable over the other because of its higher 2.3 gravity.

Name: The Twin Sisters
Reference System: NYEAKIO TG-N C23-2
Type: Planetary Features
Description:
These twinned Earth-like planets are identical in composition and extremely similar in mass and surface temperature, so were probably formed at the same time.
They orbit one another at just 1.72 ls, which is roughly 1.3 times the distance between Earth's moon and Earth. From the surface of each world, its twin would appear about twice the size in the sky as the Moon appears from Earth. An excellent opportunity for the scientific study of parallel biome development; or just a nice spot for a vacation, at only 8000ly from Sol.

I found this strange "Black Hole" POI and had to check it out. The description says: "No Data". So... here's some data:
Name: Dancing Nebulae
System: XTE J1856+053
Type: Black Hole
Description:
On the outer edge of the Festival Grounds lies the largest black hole in the region. At 151.6 solar mass, this is one of the ten largest known black holes in the galaxy. The lensing effect engulfs the light from nearly the entire galactic plane. As you circumnavigate the sphere, the nebulae from the Festival Grounds dance and spin around you. With such a view, this is undoubtedly one of the best places to view the pageantry of the Festival Grounds.

Looks to be one of those elsuive, medium mass black holes that have been in the news recently: https://www.universal-sci.com/headlines/2018/8/10/finding-the-happy-medium-of-black-holes
Good job Cmdr! o7
Name: Carnation Nebula
System reference: BOEPPY AA-A H62
Coordinates: -14985 : -605 : 15775
Type: Nebula
Description:
Approaching this nebula from the Festival Grounds, coreward, this nebula shows off its glow of deep blue and gold. Approaching from the rimward side, however, the glow is hidden entirely by the dust and gas. From this angle, the Carnation Nebula shows only its carnation shape as an outline of darkness against the galactic plane. At nearly 22,000 LY from Sol and 7,000 LY from Colonia, this nebula is not a site that many will see.

Hello, not sure if this is the place to do this, but you guys might want to update the NGC 3199 Sector BV-Y c2 Guardian ruines entry, in the description it says there are three sites in that system and gives coodinate, one being Alpha and 2 Beta on Planet B3 and B4, but there are no such sites, there are only 2 gamma sites on B1a... Unless I am missing something.
Cheers

I wasn't sure where to post this... it's a bug of some kind obviously, but I don't know how common it is and if it's a one-off it's definitely worth keeping in the game as a POI!
Name: The floating boulders
System: THEQUE GG-F D11-36 (Planet 9A)
Type: Planetary anomaly
Description: On this strange moon - orbiting a large ringed gas giant in a system reasonably near the Colonia region to the 'West' of the core, a most unusual and unexplained phonomenon has been observed. In many areas of the moon, the surface boulders hover a few metres above the ground. Furthermore, the tracks normally left by SRV wheels in the affected regions mysteriously do not appear.

This happens when the terrain data has not loaded completely. Sometimes simply waiting for a bit can fix that, others you might need to relog.
Name: Christmas Nebula
POI Type: Nebula
System Reference: PRA EAEWSY AA-A H56
Description:
Reds and greens glow from within this nebula, providing its distinctive name. Adding to this, it is filled primarily with relatively cool M-class stars, though the star density within this nebula is quite sparse. Inside the Orion-Cygnus arm, this nebula lies 19,200 LY from Sol. This nebula makes for an excellent stopping point for deep space explorers.
