Bookmarking Probes in Space

Also little tip for folks to make easy perches on statics. You can bookmark probes if there are on your overview. So you want to make a custom formation which has probes on grid.

set your probe size 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 click and hold control you'll see arrow to move your probes manualy. While holding down ctrl sroll 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 more. If they are to close, scroll up.

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

You can also move the probes to cardinal locations. Set the probe size to 32AU and hit shift. Now you can drag around the probes to a grid such as this: now set it back to 0.25 au and start scrolling in. The probes will get on grid on the 6 cardinal positions.
