Small update to this post from a couple years ago. Using the coordinates _RnG_Zeus_ posted, you can actually scan 6 beacons without moving the SRV. assume you are facing the crashed ship, moving clockwise:

1. Behind the ship itself, past the rocks (not visible)
2. to the right behind the rocks as you swing clockwise (not visible)
3. further away to the right in the open, roughly at 5 o-clock
4. you will be almost parked on top of one directly behind you
5. as you swing further around, another one at almost max distance, roughly the 9 o-clock position
6. lastly, fairly close to the ship at about the 11 o-clock position

3 scan sessions (2 relogs) and I was full up on the G5 mats. Quick hop to Ray gateway, pop back, repeat. I filled all the G1-G3 mats by down trading in well under an hour. Granted I am using a Caspian with T4 engineering on my FSD so its 3 jumps to go from Jameson to Ray Gateway.
