Only the first to sell the data gets the discovery bonus credits, but both CMDRs get their name against the discovery once the data is sold. One of the tests I have planned will check if both CMDRs need to sell the data before both get the credit. It's a bit ambiguous on that point, or whether they even need to be in the same instance/system at the point of sale.
If I wasn't in the middle of the CGs, I'd offer myself. But if you haven't found anyone by Thursday, hit me up. I suspect you will.
Keep me in mind if you want to do the half-way tour as a result.
Son has said he's busy this weekend (he's revising for A Level mocks) so if you're stll up for testing this theory, let me know.
I'm on the Euro group and will be going online in about two hours (10pm Fri my time).
Ack, I'm on US Eastern, and won't be getting home until late, around 0200 UTC. Yeah, one of those sick Americans that love working extra hours at my clients, although that's how I'm able to post here at times during the day too.
However, after that I'm pretty much open on any time all weekend, no kids and wife is busy this weekend.
So let me know if you don't get anyone, and I'll see about rejoining the European group (Mobius). I used to see more people on in that group, than the American (Mobius PvE), so I might ask to switch back. Or we can just use our own private group instead.

The plan is for my wingman to honk and scan system 1, with me in a different system (as a control).
They honk and scan the next three systems with me there as well.
On return to a station where we can sell the data, my wingman sells half of system 2 with me in a different system. The other half gets sold with me in supercruise in the same system. I drop into an instance by myself for the sale of half of system 3's data. Then I drop into the same instance as my wingman for the sales of system 1 and the remainder of system 3. System 4 - I sell one planet, just to see what happens. The rest is reserved for unforeseen problems.
If I've missed any useful permutations, let me know. Bear in mind that I've not done any scans myself: Some of these may be a star only, so the sale plan may need to be varied according to what we find.
This is all a learning exercise for myself too, so I'm not really looking for any credit (after all, you found them). I still don't have a star to my credit, but many planets the one time I headed out around the coal sack.
I hope you find someone. And if not, let me know in about 6 hours (0200 UTC). I'll hop on, quickly grab an Asp Explorer and head over. Worst case I'll fly over just shy of the systems to join you on my own, and then we'll wing up and finish the job the next time we can get on together.
