Bookmarking Probes in Space
You can bookmark probes if there are on your overview. (assuming your brackets are set to show them) This is usefull for making bookmarks on grid quickly.
set your probe scan range to 0.25 AU and center on my location (assuming you are on or near the hole) Then hover your mouse in the system map where you see your probes on the map. If you now press and hold control you'll see arrow to 'zoom in' with your probes.
While holding down ctrl scroll down with your mouse wheel to move them closer together. Now hit analyse to move the probes to the location. If you've scrolled down far enought all of them should show on grid If they don't, adjust by scrolling down even more. If they are to close, scroll up.
You can also move the probes to cardinal locations. Set the probe size to 32 AU scan rangeand press and hold shift. Now you can drag around the probes to a grid such as in the image on the right.
now set the it back to 0.25 AU scan range and start scrolling in. Hit analyze and if you've scrolled in far enough, the probes will get on grid on the 6 cardinal positions.
Once you like the location. save it as a custom formation.
Now when ever you are somehere where you want a perch, you can launch probes. Hit center on my position, your custom formation and analyze. They'll be ongrid where you can bookmark them for perches
