Might be an idea. Though I doubt this will help with an invisible reticle...

Wow, in the right light (which changes rapidly and is worth wiaitng for) Robert Aitken Orbital can look truly stunning.
I probably ought to be practicing my close orbit supercruise approaches but I got so distracted by the views here that I ended up just doing trench runs round and round the station instead.

But how would you be able to tell?
Better than my scouting run this morning - approach and departure deep on the night side. Flying in it was almost just a black screen with a white dot in the middle!Wow, in the right light (which changes rapidly and is worth wiaitng for) Robert Aitken Orbital can look truly stunning.

Well, I opted to pay 200 credits. To be able to collect the 1000+ credits of cartographic data I collected on that round.
Which covered the fuel and repair costs as well as the fine from this trip.

“Optimal”* route has been plotted. Bookmarks have been set. Ships are now on site. If I’m lucky, I may have time to make a scouting between run work and dinner at my sister’s tonight. If not, I’ll be doing some runs before work tomorrow morning!!!

Just keeping my fingers crossed that I get a few runs in before the race is over.
