Guardian Frame Shift Booster mission is not going too well.
I am unable to find the pylons.
If I don't know what I'm looking for, I can't find it!!

There's lots of videos on it.
There are. Some are very vague. The Down To Earth Astronomy one is the best, but I'm a beginner and very confused. The game gives nothing away....
Luckily I got it free on Epic...
Also, D2EA video has seven minutes on the count-down. Mine only starts at four!!
It needs updating and importing your datas from server at a rate you can't get it to, it's not desgined for this, I use it all the time but not this way, better keeping track yourself in your inventory...
I agree, I think he is one of the better one's, I have noticed that most leave or skip something. When I did it, it took me 7 or 8 tries before I got it right, make sure you have the correct artifact to drop and use your external camera to align the SRV. The more I did it, the faster I got at it, 11Ly range increase is worth it.
I'm going to give it up as a bad job. I have a poor sense of direction anyway and there is no NSEW on the SRV. I am completely lost....
I did try and setup the camera but, again the videos are so vague as to be nearly useless!
There is a compass strip along the top of the HUD.
I have been to Guardian sites many times and I still get bamboozled by the layout(s). There were some good layout maps on the canonn.science website but for the life of me I can't actually find them on there now:
Guardian Structure | Canonn Research Group
The Guardian Structure is a surface structure created by the Guardians. It was found after the less interactive Ancient Ruins (also created by The Guardians), and is often found in the same systems. While several Ancient Ruins are often found in the same system we have only found a maximum of...

Do go back and have another try at some point, it might take a good few tries to work them out though.

I suppose I shouldn’t mention that when I did it the first time it was so early that there were no guides at all. It was a puzzle that I had to figure out, on my own, and eventually I did. I drove around exploring the site, saw those pylons suddenly appear, got surprised by the Sentinels, nearly got destroyed multiple times. It was an amazing experience I’ll never forget.
Maybe what I’m saying is don’t give up so easily. It’s worth the effort to learn the site. And once you succeed it will feel so good.
Good luck out there.
Without the guide, I'd never stood a chance! Props to you Codger!
It's a lot of work
I''ll give it another go another day. Perhaps it'll be daylight like in D2EA 's video....
Could I also do it in an Asp Explorer or is the DBX the only way to go?
You can do it in any ship - some of them are just easier to park close enough so that the ship's point defense can provide shielding from the sentinel's missiles. That's easy mode - there are other ways to handle the sentinels.
As for the pylons: the location depends on which type of guardian site you are. In most cases you have a couple near the "altar", a couple further back and a couple on the far end of the axis.
Timer starts at something like four minutes, but you get additional four minutes for each pylon you activate.
Just one more thing to keep in mind: apart from the different shapes of the sites, there is also a fundamental difference: the type of blueprint fragment a site yields (yes, we had that issue come up a couple of times in the past). You can have weapon or module blueprints, for which the sites take those prismatic artefacts from the top of some poles, or you can have the fighter blueprint, for wich the sites take a guardian key that you will have to procure from a guardian space installation.
If I may turn your attention to the dial below the targeting circles, it is the energy tuner. It works similar to an old radio dial.
The white line you see on the left end of this dial is your indicator. When you move it across the dial*, it will show you different energy types - at this moment, it is set to show you signal sources like "degraded emissions", further to the right, you see some wave-looking sections above the dial. These will show you different planetary body types (also indicated at the bottom left, where it in this shot says, "TRANSIENT SIGNAL SOURCES"). If you found the matching signal type, a circle will pop up in the location of the body. Aim the crosshair at it to be able to zoom in.
* : As I do not know which type of controller setup you have, and because I only know my Xbox controller setup (there it is bound to the horizontal axis of the right stick), I am unable to tell you which buttons to press to make it work.
Put your cross hairs over a glowing blob, run the slider (tuner) from one side to the other, you will see a solid circle appear under your cross hairs, your tuned. Depending on what type of planet or moon your centered on, it will tell you in the lower righthand corner when the circle is solid. If there are two solid circles, one around another, there are more than one body within, like gas giants with moons, when the chevrons point wide at an angle, it's ringed, if they are more parallel, the body is ringless.
Thanks guys for your replies. I'll try to figure out how to move this slider, I have binded it to my hat switch but I'm not sure it's the right set up. I'll try again. Cheers!
I did it in AspX, had no trouble landing close enough for the point defence make Sentinel Missiles a no-concern.
You seem to have figured out how to enter (and presumably exit) the FSS, and how to move targeting around.
Now you need to bind ZOOM IN TO TARGET, ZOOM OUT and TUNING.
Tuning is the one that lets you zoom in to target (= scan it).
Here are a couple of short videos showing just that, with no explanations:
