Scan cone dependant on distance

I know exploration will get another dev pass and this is something I'd love to see included. One of the least enjoyable things in scanning now is the need to stop at the star, point towards it and wait for the scan. I suggest that
A ) the star is auto-locked when you jump into the system and
B ) the cone of scanning is dependent on distance from the object and is infinite (well, 360 degrees) when you get close enough.

This would enable the star to be scanned automatically and also remove the need to face toward the centre of a planet (or whatever) if you're already above it.

Why do we even need to point at an object to scan it?

Dishes with gimbaled tracking have been around for years... wait gimbaled tracking...
