Are they always just a Thargoid Sensor?
Yep. At least, all the reports I've heard and all the screenshots I've seen were those.

| Carrier Info | DSSA Right Ascension (CMDR Rollo Rhadium) replaces DSSA Reginleif (CMDR DreadTom) after the latter's 1 year of service in this the central part of the Kepler's Crest region. This DSSA station is now sponsored and commissioned by Rackwheel Industries and carried out by its squadron Rackwheel Industries Survey Co. (RISC). With the addition of a refueling station and a redemption office the same excellent services as previously will be available for travellers in the southernmost region of the galaxy. DSSA Right Ascension will be present in the system for at least a year to fullfill the commitment for the DSSA-initiative #30. |

Hello Cmdrs!
DSSA Right Ascension replaces DSSA Reginleif out in the Kepler's Crest wilderness. Grateful for an update to the POI/EDSM and anything that's applicable.

Greetings
I'm doing a bit of scouting for an upcoming expedition and I'm visiting the POI's that are along the route.
However, some POI's are really unimpressive, almost as if they were added just because. This has raised upon several questions.
EDSM - Elite Dangerous Star Map
The Galactic Positioning System of Elite: Dangerous at your service.
Is the requirement for Neutron stars being relatively close to each other that low to become a POI? I understand this is not a core region but it's a bit underwhelming as region to be even considered a POI. In that case, I do have a zone that could be a POI by itself. However, I want to know if the line is this low to qualify a region as a POI?

This one is not even funny, How 2 very far away stars (16kls relatively to the scale of how our solar system is) close to each other considered a POI? I understand the scientific significance this might have, however this is not uncommon event from a B class system to occur. Specifically with how these bodies are distant from each other.
Is not that I think they should be removed or anything, I'm just wondering if the line is that low to be considered a POI for the GMP list. Because, for expedition purposes, these "POI"s are either unimpressive or as the GMP mentions bellow "notability". Mostly because for what I've read, the line is pretty high with some of the recent additions and well, these do not seem to be around that line.
Even if they might be historic, they are a bit underwhelming as they are. Quote "Why would I travel 16k ly to see a semi binary B class?"
Yeah, you just slapped me with the teacher ruler here Erimus. Eh, sorry if I was a bit frustrated is that I was expecting a lot and felt I super bummed when I didn't found something really cool like other POI's. You explained yourself pretty well.They're historic, and pre-date the stipulation you quoted in your last line. Both these entries are over 5 years old, and date back to when the GMP was in its infancy. I think they even pre-date Horizons content, a time when the only entries were stars, nebulae, clusters, or interesting (for the time) regional features. Compared to today, there wasn't a whole lot of interesting POIs to add to the project until Horizons came so the rules of entry were much more lax back then.
Those two POIs you mentioned are a product of their times. One is actually already archived (which means it was deemed uninteresting or obsolete a while ago. The GMP won't ever delete entries, no matter how uninteresting they are compared to today's standards, so we archive them instead). The other is a region feature - not strictly a POI. Regional features were a special category introduced by Corbin Moran in the early days of the GMP to basically try and give some flavour text to the galaxy (which back then didn't even have regions until the GMP introduced them. Frontier later adopted their own and incorporated some of the GMP regions into the game a few years later). The entry you mentioned is a sort of proto-idea of introducing regional features to the community map when there were none, and therefore could be thought of as the seeds that lead to the galaxy getting a regional overlay it has now. In that context we hope they still hold some historical importance to the community.
The standards for POI entry has been raised little by little over the years as the game evolved and new game content was added, but yes, those particular entries you linked aren't that interesting today, and definitely not worthy of POIs to use as waypoints or anything. They're historical, and are a product of their times. And as mentioned, the GMP often archive such entries as and when the next clean up comes along, as one of the goals the GMP had from day one was to record the evolving history of exploration and preserve it as best as possible, no matter how obsolete old entries become over time!
