Need help with the last beacon clue
I have finally found the last beacon and I know that the (+) symbol indicates that the gateway is located in the middle of the circle formed by the listed systems, but I seem to come up with the wrong calculations every time. I have even inlisted the aid of a friend who has a master degree in math to help, no luck so far. What math formula is used? or better yet, does anyone know the coordinates?. It will not spoil the game for me. I am a disabled veteran who served as an Airborne Ranger during the vietnam war era, the head injury really makes it frustrating at times working with numbers and I would appreciate any help....Thanks.

**** Spoiler Alert ****
First a couple of clues:
- Think simple. Trying to use every point averaging will result in the wrong location.
- Draw a 'shape' that encompasses all of the systems with the most distant systems right at the edge, see if that helps narrow down the search.
- Rather than just trying to average the values, 'connect the dots' and compare with the shape.
- Don't forgot the offsets in any calculation, they must be taken into consideration or you will wind up at least about 100 sectors off.
If you'd like more, let me know via u2u.
