Any gameplay loop for scanning obelisks?

Been away for a while, just getting into the Guardian stuff. Solved a few puzzles, pewed some drones, got a bunch of mats. But I can't figure out a way to play the game 'as intended' and get obelisk data. I normally don't grind or farm or relog, but I really can't think of a way to play as normal and also get obelisk data without repeatedly coming back out to the ruins for no reason. Am I missing something, or is this just a mandatory relog for hours situation?
 
I didn't know that was a thing, thank you. I made this thread when I had all but one scan of data for a Trident left, and got it about 15 minutes ago. A bit over six hours of non-playing for one piece of tech, I don't think I can look at the Guardians again and still want to be a CMDR. But thanks for learnin' me things. :)
