Question about Raxxla & the Dark Wheel

Hello CMDRs, the seach for Raxxla & the Dark Wheel station is not something new to Elite Dangerous players, with Devs saying that it has been in the game since 1.0.
I've read many articles about how people are trying to decipher the meaning behind the Codex entries & figuring out where to seach.

What I want to ask is if anyone has remembered how the Voyager 1 probe was discovered in Elite Dangerous, 2.1 million lightseconds away from Sol, by manually triangulating its distance from Sol, Sedna, and Persephone.

As you know, the features in Elite Dangerous 1.0 didn't include things like the FSSS, and I belive honking the DSS will not make Voyager 1 show up on the nav panel as well. I believe that in order to find Raxxla or the Dark Wheel station, we need to do things old school, by triangulating its location manually, and flying within 1000 ls to discover its signal.
 
In the early days, you could spot it as a USS from anywhere in system. If your cursor moved over the skybox location while manuvering, it popped up. The USS didnt say what it was, but when you see one 2.1mls out, you target it and investigate.
Sorry, nothing clever required.

(That WIKI is horse dooey, its kind of true for a period, but not the original situation)
