| Hey,
Found a really nice Desert world around a Yellow Dward star in Scorpius constellation. Actually, I was looking for a nebula near the sting in the tail, but couldn't find it, and noticed this yellow dwarf. There are a few planets, with moons in this system, mostly a Gas Giant, and a couple of Selenas. This one though stood out for it's beauty, especialy on the terminator.
The Planet is: RS 8404-1133-7-1480665-107 5 vers 0.94
It does have an atmosphere only 0.0080752 atm, a day is pretty similar to Earth of 22 h, 25m 32.15s. Year is 2.153 years n it's bit less than half the size of the Earth. Very Mars like world. Could almost be it's sister, except for the seas. Unfortunately there's no way to know what the seas are made of. There are two selena type moons.
Very pretty place around sunset.
Really hope to see some more of your travels. With info please At least the location.

| From the night sky, same position, running on 300x time to watch the sky revolve, I noticed this little gem in the night sky. Can you recognise this constellation? Imagine looking at it from Earth (marked). This time, I figured I'd add an aid, next time I won't lol

| Something curious about that planet, is there's a 5 floating just off the edge of the planet. At first I thought it marked a South pole, but it doesn't since it moves as I rotate around. Not seen this before.
[Edit:- ahh it's the last number of the planets coord's
