Yes, I remember my sky-scanning routine, ....

The way I had always success was to point my nose to a big system object (planet or sun) and than slowly flip backward while scanning the sky for a distant dredger.
When I made a full circle, I rolled a bit to the left and than made another 360 degree flip backward. (etc... etc..) Just don't roll to fast or you might miss a spot. That way you can find any ship that is large enough to be drawn. And as all the dredgers during a salvaging operation, qualify for that drawing size, I felt it a must to require this scanning skill by the players.
