You can [[Targeting|target]] asteroids directly from the survey scanner window (much like the asteroids in the overview); this can be a useful shortcut to help you mine the particular asteroid you're interested in. A little marker shows you which asteroids you are targeting (note that, just like the rest of the information, this is only refreshed when you refresh the survey scanner window).

==== Appraising an Asteroid Belt ====
Survey scanners can be used to provide the approximate valuation of an asteroid belt with the help of 3rd party appraisal tools. This activity is relatively easy when in a fleet that provides range bonuses to Survey Scanner. Without range boosts an estimate can be done by scanning one area of the belt at a time and removing duplicate asteroid entries before submitting.
'''Steps to get an estimate'''
# Move into a position where the Survey Scanner range-indicator overlaps all the asteroids to be appraised
# Perform Survey Scan by clicking on the module's icon or appropriate hotkey
# Expand any category of ore in the Survey Scanner Results window that is collapsed (ores in collapsed categories do not get copied)
# Copy the results from the Survey Scanner Results window:
## Click on any item in the window to select it
## Press CTRL + A to select all items
## Press CTRL + C to copy
# Submit the values into a 3rd party appraisal tool like [http://evepraisal.com/ Evepraisal]
