My tourist beacon name is "Among four black holes". Now if possible, could I keep the original GMP name I gave it? I do understand continuity for continuity's sake, but I really prefer the GMP name I gave it lol.
It's completely up to you - it'll be left as is.
 
Name:Twin Gleaming Marbles

Description:This tourist beacon was set up in September 3307 as part of the Saud Kruger Exploration Campaign in conjunction with Astrogator Tours.
The location was identified by Commander Winter Ihernglass who made the following observations:

This pair of earth-like worlds gleam in orbit around each other against a backdrop brimming with stars. Other features of the system include several pairs of landable closely orbiting pairs, canyons, volcanism, biological life, and a gas giant with ammonia-based life. Quick escape from the system is offered by the primary neutron star.

Both Saud Kruger and Astogator Tours extend their thanks to Commander Ihernglass for contributing to the success of this initiative.

This tourist beacon was set up in September 3307 as part of the Saud Kruger Exploration Campaign in conjunction with Astrogator Tours.
The location was identified by Commander Gregorio Cortez who made the following observations:
This system contains a primary neutron star orbited by a high metal content world, a companion K type star orbited by five high metal content worlds, a water world and an Earth-like world.

This tourist beacon was set up in September 3307 as part of the Saud Kruger Exploration Campaign in conjunction with Astrogator Tours.
The location was identified by Commander Matt G who made the following observations: The absolute standout feature of this system is that it has a ringed neutron star orbiting a pair of black holes. Only a tiny handful of these have ever been discovered.

Name:Thanatos
Game map search ref:Hypo Scroe GK-R D4-3
Description:In Greek mythology, Thanatos (Greek: Θάνατος) was the personification of death.
And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. And the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea's broad back and is kindly to men; but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods

"Thanatos"
is the most fitting name given to Planet A 1 that orbits a DC-class White Dwarf which is in binary with an L class brown dwarf (4ls away). This is a metal-rich body, so close to the main star (0.2ls perigee and ~0.65ls at apogee) that it is nigh-on impossible to get near to it to map and only death await the commanders that try to get close. The planet's hyperbolic orbit means that it weaves in and out of the white dwarf's body like a comet, gaining speed at perigee and slowing down as it moves away; the body's movement easily trackable in the void.
Thanatos was thus regarded as merciless and indiscriminate, hated by – and hateful towards — mortals and gods alike. But in myths which feature him, Thanatos could occasionally be outwitted, a feat that the sly King Sisyphus of Korinth twice accomplished.

The constant gravitational pull on the brown dwarf trigger huge CMEs to appear on the star's surface, adding an eerie tone to the already-impressive fluorescent-crimson colour alongside the brilliant jets from the white dwarf.

Name:Among The Giants
Game map search ref:Throets DA-Y D1-20
Description:Tourist Spot 0650

This tourist beacon was set up in September 3307 as part of the Saud Kruger Exploration Campaign in conjunction with Astrogator Tours.
The location was identified by Commander Suzie who made the following observations: This system contains a primary F-class star hosting multiple gas giants. A ringed Earth-like world found here also hosts two moon.

Name:Elysian Eye Deep Dive
Game map search ref:Pludgo VL-C d13-0
Description:Deep in the Xibalba area in the Elysian Shore, a solitary system lies in the center of an eye-shaped star field at about -2000 on the Z axis; the system itself is at -2098. It appears that no deeper system can be found within a radius of several thousand lightyears. There are several landable planets which provide an unusual view at the almost pitch black sky with no viewable stars, also one of the planets has a spectacular crater of planetary scale.
It's a hard-to-reach system, dicoverer CMDR Hoschi247 used his 77,7 LY Anaconda "Sprungschwein REV II" with at least 3 FSD-injections and 2 neutron-boosts to dive into that depth- alternativly take a ride on a FleetCarrier

Nice find! Was it hard to get to? Or did you use an FC? In the case of the latter, please note possible navigation difficulties reaching the system in your description unless you can show that they don't exist.
 
Edit: Disregard, it's already in game as the Pink Flame Nebula. 😅

NameAphrodite Nebula
Game Map Search Ref:Leamiae MI-S e4-45
Description:This nebula appears from the nearby Leamiae WV-K d9-4959 system to be the face and hair of a woman, with pink highlights set against purple dust. The colors within the nebula swirl indigo, dark blue, and violet, with a black hole supernova remnant at the system's center.

It took me about an hour on the GalMap to find the system, it was pretty clear that i could not reach it with my Anaconda when trying on the same Z-Axis-Level. So i figured out a way from above, at all it took me 3 FSD-Injections and i used 2 neutron-boosts to get there. I also moved my carrier into the system after i arrived there with my Anaconda, so i could take some nice pictures

Would you be able to egress in your 'Conda? Or would it be a one-way trip?

Sorry, i'm not sure if i understand what you mean, but i got there in my Anaconda and i left with my Anaconda with me on the controls, i didn't take a ride on the carrier to leave the system. The exit-path was another way than the entry-path, on both of them i had to use FSD-injections and neutron-boosts
 
Well, I don't see any "no accept nebulas (ok, "regular" nebulas, not planetary, planetary must be truly unique to accept), so here is next (interesting, that still exist few unsubmitted nebulas) :)
Name:Sigmar's Hideout (In game: Clookau AA-A H41)
Game map search ref:Clookau KX-S D4-137
Description:Quite small (50x50x50) dark, purple nebula located close to the boundary between the Inner Scutum-Centaurus Arm and the Temple. Due to its dark colors, the nebula provides an excellent contrast against the background of nearby, brighter nebulae.
