Additionally...
Minefields are 75% cloaked (at one place the help-file states 82% but that's wrong). So a ship with a normal scanning ability of 400-ly, sees all minefields 100-ly around... if the centre-point of the minefield is within this radius. If the centre-point is 102-ly away you won't see the minefield even if the field spreads out as much as 40ly.
Once you have discovered a minefield, it's uncloaked and you can keep it on your map for as long as you cover the centre-point with a normal scanner otherwise it vanishes again.
