Of course, it wasn't that easy to find a match.
Just like in a game, it would have been wonderful to arrive somewhere, discover that it matched a clue you'd found earlier, and smoothly unlock the next stage. But one still had to show astronomy some respect.
The image didn't even indicate what season it was. The odds of simply walking in and standing at the right place, with everything matching up perfectly, were slim.
Fortunately, a perfect match wasn't necessary. Besides the coordinates provided by the technicians back then, Fu Qian also had some familiarity with Star Tethering techniques like the intercept method.
Teaching someone to fish was better than giving them a fish. He only needed a few key points to narrow the area represented by that map down to a certain range.

Fu Qian's goal on this solo return trip had always been crystal clear: head straight for the coordinates he hadn't explored last time.
Although the results were somewhat disappointing.
Ashes... still ashes. There was nothing here but deathly silence and chaos. That wasn't surprising.
