Returning to sector 'Leap of Faith' [Tides of Avarice]
Where in the plot time-line are we?
You've already been to "Leap of Faith" with Boso's help, and returned.
Now you're back, probably to pick up (and then sell) some protectyon.
I had an Astrid at the time, to travel through the anomaly.

Where in the sector is this anomaly?
- This is with v5.10 of the game, vanilla (i.e. no mods).
- During the plot of finding these anomalies, I found 4 and marked each with a navigation marker.
- My position is approx. 160km, south from the superhighway gate.
- I've only done this play-through once, so can't determine if the anomaly is always in the same position. However, I have see other posts mentioning the same distance.
Timings of "high" and "low" tide.
- There are plenty of posts on the frequency of the tide.
- I'm just covering the times of when the anomaly is "active".
Because the first and second waves are close together, I tried to start the timer between them, so the timings are approximate.
- The wave intensity starts to recede
- I made it ~60 seconds before you start to see the anomaly go "active"
- The anomaly is "active" for 2 minutes.
- I have seen others refer to this activity as "sparkles" but it looks more like stringy lightning. This could be due to graphics settings.
- These "sparkles" fade in and out, so are not visible for the full "active" duration. Don't panic! You have 2 minutes.
The next sequence of screenshots are examples of the "sparkles".
I have not zoomed in, just hidden the ship and HUD.
Screenshots aren't great so there is a video at the end of this guide as well.

Part way through I reduce the in-game graphic settings (High -> Medium -> Low) to see if that affects the visuals.
Again, this could be graphics-card dependant.
Hope this helps.
