This is a small guide "How to find a wormhole". It is not a very indepth guide but I think it gives a nice overview. I think there are some more tutorials in the Testserver section ...
For better understanding you should
- know what Triangulation is (wiki  )
- read this great written Tutorial by CCP: link
Eve-Files: link
Youtube: link
Note: The quality is not the best. But I think it is sufficient to see what I am doing.
If you have any questions - feel free to ask :)

I guess it shows how to be successful. It sure isnt the best way to scan. Guess that's a good thing; so that nubs can learn how to do it themselves.
Really? I found this method very effective. And a lot of others do this the same way (dont question CCP Greyscale!!! ). I mean there are some things you HAVE to do.
- Start with 1 probe to know if there is a sig
- Use 4 probes for triangulation
- shrink the probes until you get a result
At first I thought I could just drop 4 probes at one place - but of course this won't work with triangulation 
And you have to shrink the probes in several steps (not just 32AU to 0.5AU) because most of the time you will lose your result.
Some arrange the 4 probes in a pyramide (which is indeed the best geometrical pattern) - but I think its easier to align them in a plane. Works fine.
But maybe this is a discussion for the science forum :)

It is trilateration not triangulation.
Oh in germany we use "triangulation" as an umbrella term (maybe because this was the first used/invented method). But you're right. It's about distances not angles.
They should call the skill astrometrics trilateration...

Doesn't always work fine, I had 7 probes all at .25au overlapping a site, still couldn't get strength over 50%. Realized that having all the probes on the same plane was part of the problem.
Yeah thats something I realized, too. But note that only the 4 best probes count for your signal strength... so no need for more than 4 probes in a pyramide.
Oh and it's astonishing how much more sigstrength you can get by just searching the best probe-target range (its around half the max.range)

Nice info, tried it out and was easy and simple.
Just Curious > You say Recommended skills "Astrometrics 1" but to train "Astrometrics Pinpointing" you Need Astrometrics at level 4. Thought id mention it ;)
Lol thanks - I corrected it. I just looked at the values the skills give :)

thanks very usefull
Thanks!
And thanks to all the positive feedback. I get ingame mails, convos, youtube video has 25k views, etc.... I'm blown away! 
I should do more video tutorials

Thanks.
Will do my best.
Maybe some Beethoven next time ;)
