Many Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. I will try and copy your in-system pattern, good to have some solid info. Let's hope there's something to be found.

I was hunting them before leaving to IC, on systems with multiple bodies they also spawn close to the bodies (got one at 170km in orbit flight, left it falling towards the planet because of the grav for 30m, got bored). after a while (30mins) I got the same previous spawm rate of 1 every 5-10 minutes, in hr 646 iirc. the increase could be because I was scanning the whole system and I was changing space zones (from one body to another)

Ok, so.. back to a known location to get some knowledge on the limits of the 'barnacle visible distance'. Approached a known location just before dusk, and manage to get pictures from a distinguishable 'POI' from up to 4.45km, and this is a destroyed barnacle.
Any higher than that and the spot disappears. This is considering a straight line of view, so to be safe, I'm setting my maximum hunting altitude to 3km (giving me a span of another 3km view to cover the whole canyon width). That is by far much better than the current 800 meters I was using and got my hull down to 35% after a few oopsies.
There no difference between a intact and a depleted Barnacle from that distance and the only difference seems to be the 'sparks' reflection floating some meters on top of the barny (much more noticeable in movement):
Nothing seems visible from SC. Even if SC can be activated at 2.5km (masslock distance) it is still the escape vector SC and by the time you get into orbital flight it is too far.
Enough information collected, heading back to IC 4604 again, main focus now are small (400km) high metal content potatoes almost no times earth masses (0.0010 max). Cheers!!!

Palin is.
Yes. We couldn't previously do this. I think it changed in 2.1, though I can't say for sure that I tried in 2.0.
Youknow that buzzing sound that people have been getting recently after jumping? Well I have it... and im in outfitting...
PANICK!!!! THEY ARE HERE!!!!
*sniff* they die so young!
It was your plan all along... Blinky is the first of a new shell around the soul nebula :O (jk I weep for ur loss)
New Canonn article, written by Nick is up: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/57555e7a9657ba916d671d92

I docked at an outpost in Lave last night (the one around the newly permit-locked planet) and there was some very creepy kind of gutteral growling sounds. But nothing to see, and nothing to do.
Ed-map dont have California Sector DL-Y D4 but there is California Sector DL-Y D3. Thats why it's not a 'real' straight line from California nebula to Bubble
triangle height 2.28 ly
coincidence?
and back to wings trailer - who the heck is Lori Jameson? it's he was in wing with Ishmael?

Shame on you, contaminating the scene!
Now we'll never know if we find a UA whether it's a native CN UA or a Pleaides UA descendent of Blinky
I just visited the new barnacle site. Has anyone pointed out yet that only one of the two barnacles gives a signal on the buggy wave scanner? I think that probably implies that this is a single barnacle PoI rather than two close together.
Yup, a few posts back.
Well, at least you got a drink for your trouble!
