Summary
We already have the following functionality:
I’ve found it helpful to use the directional scanner (d-scan) within the solar system view, for the following reasons:
  1. the feature removes all the visual clutter;
  2. the orbits of moons, planets make orientation within the system far easier,
  3. as well as showing you your own bookmarks, and other mission bookmarks etc.

Proposal
The proposal includes one small change to the zoom function, and a GUI improvement to the visual representation of d-scan within the solar system view.
  1. to increase the degree of freedom of the zoom function all the way to zero ( facilities scans below a 2AU)
  2. and to represent the directional scanner’s cone of vision within the solar system view. This would be an improvement over the f11 sidebar without making it redundant.

Thanks you for your consideration

I’ve searched this forum (keyword search), and I’ve looked at the CSM archive and this hasn’t been raised before, as far as I know. I believe the explanation for this is that the feature is not well know. In fact it hasn’t been mentioned any of the player guides I’ve looked at on the subject, and I’ve looked at a few.

edit: I'm not suggesting replacing anything, simply iterating on the system view's functionality

Yet an another sensible UI Improvement.

No change to D-scan other than an obvious tweek.

Why not.

Supported.
