Green dot in background, might be Raxxla?
No clues I think, don’t see enough stars to draw any conclusions as to location!

But a nice observation nonetheless!

Edit: actually on closer inspection there are a few more stars than I saw at first glance. Anybody want to try enhancing it? I’m on iPad with limited photo editing at the moment. If I increase brightness and contrast there are a fair few stars and a lot of nebulosity/dust cloud visible to the left

Yeah just noticed the green star however may be just a light point for the letter I to glow, the stars in the background move while that doesnt so doubt you could line it up with anywhere. Below i have atatched a snip of the stars and circled the one closest to the glow

Ok, this answers my question I had a few pages back. Seems that I'm coming to very similar conclusions/suspicions as you, independently.

Follow-up question: Did you get a mission in a Degraded Emission, where you had to scoop a black box and then got an assassination-mission (kill a religious leader)?

Personally I never bothered with the Mystery missions. Some other CMDRs did in IRH but as far as they can tell, it leads nowhere and the investigation was shut down. Afaik I remember the missions can be triggered easily enough, although I don't remember the exact circumstances.

Anyway to me, its more like a signboard that you are generally on the right track about what the whole Mystery is about i.e. we know you know and if you recognize us, come find us.

This last screen seems to have been blurred a bit.
But the interesting part, to me at least, is that the other parts of the video - where the call to action is shown - seems to be rendered inside the game.
The green glowing in the bottom seems to be a star, due to the god rays, and that may be a POV of the location.

I'm willing to check, but I have no idea yet of how to find a location using just the skybox.
I heard some have done this before.

Finding a location using the skybox is trial and error - select a star in the map, is it the right direction? If yes, jump there. Is what you were looking at on the skybox still in front of you? Jump again. If not, turn around and repeat!
 
Great capture, this is the bg of "The Guardians". For those who over the video, take care to not confuse this with the bg for the ED intro, right after it.
This one feels like made by some designer. Either way, if there is a secret location, the asterism may be right.

But due to my belief, the game engine was used for the bg with the glow from the bottom.
I wonder if they could, somehow, underestimate a way to find it using the skybox.

Yeah, I think I'll do that. I just wanna have a first check on the asterisms, because maybe that helps.
In the video, it kinda looks to be near Aldebaran, maybe in Ophiuncus due to the shape around it.
But that is a very quick guess.
 
Green places have been pinching me due to the logo. Just started searching for them,
after having a check into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (Coronene), searching for some nebulas, like Spirograph, and real-life novas.

One of these days, I saw a playlist of events... in the ED channel, and it starts with a talk about finding alien life.
The gentleman even speaks about the infrared but does not talk about the importance of PAHs, exactly on infrared.
And that got me thinking. Some videos after, there was this strange green glowing star behind "The Guardians".

This is the playlist

Anyone ever find LL Pegasi in game? Otherwise known as the Spiraling stars?
Most of the real life stars put in to Galmap is usually from either hipparchus (HIP), Henry Draper (HD), Yale Catalogue of Bright Stars (HR) or Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) star catalouges. Some famous stars are named as their arabic names, or if a member of a constellation, named with latin star num name. Ex: In ED given name, Ras Elased Australis is also known as Epsilon Leonis, 17 Leonis, HD 84441, HIP 47908 and HR 3873. If you type one of them to galmap, it will take you to the star most of the time. If you are not sure a star is in game or you want to see its othe catalouge names, there is a very useful website that has a lot of information on most stars and what i experienced, if a star is in that website, its also in Elite dangerous.
There is a magnifier right top and u can search stars from there.

Ps: Right now cant go online so i cant verify if LL pegasi is in game or not.

Yeah iv used most designations, now most other stars with the same classifications are infact ingame so...wierd
 
FFE starts in 3250. Which parts of the FFE history that has survived, is a bit hazy.
There are quite a few of the journal stories that have been confirmed by tourist beacons, in the Alioth region. The Antares story also starts in the journals.
Other parts have been completely abandoned. In FFE the federation had a huge population of sentient androids. The Empire used extensive cloning and genetic manipulation on their population.
The Thargoid part seem to be relatively intact, up to the point where the hand coded missions starts and the player makes choices that influences the overall events. The Journal extracts contains the stories for all the paths. It seems that in ED, not much happened after Mic Turner went missing. All we know is that Bill Turner has a Quest ship with Thargoid damage, in his workshop.

Ya I was just hoping that the signal the beacon was referencing, was some already known event... And what better signal event could there be :) But who knows ... maybe its referencing a wandering planet that sends out random whispers telling us to "kill them all"... and this is just another point along its trajectory...

The entire Elite community once Raxxla is found...sound turned on for this one lol

They look like theyre all launching from those telescopes you put money in, I never realised they were black-ops Anti Aircraft Missile siights before!

My 2 cents thoughts on finding it were that they either referred to something in one of the books or maybe were like all the other signals that we get or know about now and didnt know / still not sure what they are. Or its another dead herring that got shelved. Or an old GalNet story, something like that.

but it is like whoever wrothe this 'fluff' deliberately tried to hint at Raxxla / DW type conspiracy, recent GalNet for one example, linker JR ro a some secret org for years even though its the first we hear. They can string us along for years lets face it :)

First rule of Lore Club:
There is Lore and there is Not Lore... there is no Fluff

Ya not sure about the signal - but I do like it - another string to tug on ;)
