Desperately Seeking Anomalies

[maddog59]

I have a RoveMate in a polar orbit of the Mun at ~400km, trying to find anomalies (i.e., the arches) so I can set waypoints for later exploration. I see that the RoveMate has only a 10 degree field of view, and the anomalies should appear as "?" in the KerbNet screen. I found in the Wiki the  latitude/longitudes for the three arches, but is the only thing I can do is watch KerbNet until a "?" appears and set a waypoint? Or is there some way that's more efficient?

I know that MJ2 allows you to plug in coordinates for a landing site, but I've been trying to wean myself away from it because I came to depend on it too much.

You’re doing things right, but maybe a higher orbit will help? The narrow FOV is less of an issue up there and you should be able to see everything and mark them.

Alternatively, use SCANsat and do an anomaly scan to automate the whole process and get usable maps with precise locations that you can then use on other crafts without messing around with waypoints etc.
