I have tried these in test and in live and I have had no joy whatsoever. I have identified ships on the scanner, made sure that they are more than 1AU away and have analysed for the appropriate ship type.
I did file a petition and got a next-to-useless response telling me that I need to use 3 at a time. It would appear that the help desk peeps don't know as much as you would expect.
I have tried since the last patch in the hope that a bug had been identified and fixed, but still no joy.
I have tried everything I can think of and just wondered if I was the only person having difficulty with this.

I'm afraid you are making the same mistake as the help desk peep. For the observator, you only need to launch 1 probe. I did try to launch multiple probes and select more than one, but you just cant do it. The observator is supposed to search the whole system and get you within range to use the 192AU, 48AU, 12AU and/or 3AU probes. You need Astrometrics lvl 5 to use them and I am starting to wish I hadn't bothered.

They haven't got back to me yet, but i just noticed something very interesting on the new system scanner layout. The other probes when activated, create a red ring with a radius of 3au, 12au, 48au or 192au depending on which probes you use. The observators appear to create a ring of 1au radius. It may be that the programmers have misinterpreted the specification and have coded these so that they only find objects within 1au when the design would indicate that they should find objects outside of this range. We'll see when the devs look at my bug report i guess.

In the description, it actually says it should find things outside its range (1AU - infinity). However, I wonder if the coders have misread this and made it the maximum range (0-1AU).
I guess that time will tell, if CCP ever get to fix this.

Good News \o/ \o/
It would appear that something has been done to fix the observator probes as I actually got results from one on the test server last night.
Unfortunately, my other char got ganked by a FoE camp whilst trying to get a probe launcher and probes to me to try out in live, so I don't know if the fix has been applied to both. ;(
Go get them SS ships. ;-)
