It's pretty normal for the mist levels to change over the course of the local day, depending on the planet. ED tries to take into account daily outgassing cycles due to solar heating. It's just not that noticeable in most places. I have no idea what the rarity is for very obvious swings.

AIKI_ZVEZDA is right. I've checked another similar place and it seems every high-mass ice planet has misty craters. The DC has a kind of crater in a crater which slightly enhances the fog but not really. So, why was this POI accepted?

Dawn Crater was initially accepted due to this screenshot which made the place look like something very close to an Earth atmospheric setting. With the new images you have provided it would seem the original screenshot might have been an artifact of the VR or something...

It was a photo of TV screen, the author told that he was playing on Xbox, though I dunno what's the problem in making screenshot via console and then downloading it from the cloud.
 
Well, I stayed on some misty planets for some time and noticed that fog disappears as soon as night comes. It's kinda strange actually, seems fd changed or broke smth again

Considering that there are 2K WR stars I dont think that SF goes that deep into details.

P.S. Is there any need for photos of historical POIs?

There is "nice to have" and "need to have". Photos of historical POIs are nice to have :)

Do you need any help with processing the POIs? And if you do, is there any way to find lists of POI types instead of marks on the map?

Once this first sorting is complete, it would be very helpful to have others look through the archived entries to see if any has been misplaced there and should be sorted back. All the archived entries should be next to each other in this listing and bear the "Archived: " prefix. But there is little reason to start this before the first sorting is completed.
 
Name: The clockworks of NGC 6259

Game map: NGC 6259 SECTOR HN-J B9-0

Category: Planetary features

Description: These two planetary systems are very similar to eachother in terms of composition. Both planets in both systems are orbiting around a barycenter and the larger planets in both of them have rings, and two very small satellites with so short orbital periods, that you can see them move in real time.

Screenshots:

Orrery and system images for clarification:
