Geo Survey Points required for each body

[welchbloke (OP)]

I know I should know the answer to this but, how many survey points are required to survey a system body?  I have recently been dropping geo buoys in systems that have only one or 2 bodies to survey; however, I am starting to think that the bouy won't generate enough points before it runs out of endurance.

IIRC typical planets are tens, gas giants are 100s.  There should be a checkbox on the system map to display survey points needed for each body....

Found it thanks, it is on the Display2 Tab.  Nice to know there are functions in Aurora that I didn't know existed

It varies by the mass of the planet, so the easy way to know is to look.
