That's quite interesting.
I never found a planet with mist though, is it visible from orbit?

Look at the axial tilt.

sorry, but at noth pole I'm expect 90°, any°; at south pole -90°, any°.*location may vary for different values of "pole".
Here I'm at 90° noth exactly
You guys are really reaching here...
so the coordinates are not referred to the body but to the orbit?
I recall people discussing this before (before horizons). Maybe some more careful reader can remember what the upshot was.
In any case, the marker is clearly not 25 degrees from the pole on the graphic - I think that is just a coincidence.

Magnetic North?
I currently am on the North pole on Pleione 6, nothing to note but I did find Santa's workshop!! (will upload video of area)

A couple of thoughts. "It's logical when you think of it." Thing is, we know absolutely zip about barnacles. Where they come from, what they do, nothing, nada. So everything we come up with is conjecture. So the only reason that they are in nebula is that FD made every UA in the galaxy point the the Pleiades and form a nice shell around it. It really could be that simple.
"You'll know when ones nearby." This could mean a few things, a new sound, getting attacked by massive defences or maybe, just maybe, it appears as a contact. I did a few calculations (yay, science!), a small moon (1000 km radius) has a surface area of more than 50 million kms! Flying along at 2.5 kms height you can see around 16000 sq. kms. That's a needle sized haystack with a needle in it in a haystack. More chance of winning the lottery!
Right, off to fly but with one eye firmly on the contacts tab.

No, I'm saying that the "surface map" is lazy programming and I wouldn't be surprised if this were updated soon. The marker is 24.69 degrees off from the "center" of the surface map.
Except it's not, right. More like 20 degrees.
this make difficult to define the pole
It could just be that it's mapping all latitudes onto all but the top three rings of that diagram, because someone thought that having things appear too close to the poles looked bad. More chances of randomly generated things appearing too close together otherwise. :: shrug ::
As previously mentioned, Pleione 4b 8s well known. The fact that it is apparently now missing along with virtually all previous elite poi indicates to me that fd have abandoned previous lore.
Given that, the chances of them using the same place would be negligible.
Still a cool place to hint though

Just remember, that the video for horizons was not created IN GAME, so it's entirely possible that the star's in the background do not relate to anything at all.
Because it's not an in-game video, the thrusters on the SRV could be just set to a default position. The video would have been made in a separate application.
THis is my Imperial Courier for searching planets. It's the most efficient ship as it can carry everything you need, has the fastest base speed / boost speed for its size, and it very maneuverable with strong vertical thrusters (unlike the Clipper which was my 2nd chouce)

(Couldn't find A sensors at the time, don't think it affects POI detection though as they still appear at the edges of the radar when fully zoomed out)
I picked it over the Asp (Which has good cockpit view) purely for it's speed. Don't need jump range once you're in the nebula.

I'm thinking mass and/or radius from largest to smallest (or vise versa), of the main stars in the Pleiades (the Seven Sisters and possibly
Atlas and Pleione) for PR5. Row could be a second star or the second planet. Seats could be the planets of a second star or the moons of the second planet. So for example, "Pleiades Region <5th star in list> B5&6/1E&F" or something along those lines.
Did that make sense? That probably didn't make sense ._.
yes, you're right; when I was at map pole, the indication was near 66° North
