So I forgot to scoop my MTU. I come back later and it shows on dscan, but it isn’t reachable. There’s just a dash where distance would be. I’ve tried jockeying around to get closer, but it remains out of reach,. Doesn’t show up using Sisters core scanner probes, either. What to do?

Did you try using Combat probes?
Ahh, @Uriel_the_Flame beat me to it…

As others said, you need combat scanner probes for this, not core scanner probes. Combat probes only fit in an expanded probe launcher.
Also make sure to adjust your filter to include deployables:
Just flying over to them isn’t fast enough to get anywhere close, it could take literal years to fly anywhere else in your solar system with your regular propulsion module. That’s why we use faster-than-light warp drives to get from one location to another in solar systems.
If you have a spare hour you could have fun with warping to a site, planet, belt or bookmark in the direction of where you see the MTU on your directional scanner and drop new bookmarks while in warp. Eventually you can reach the grid that way, but it is a lot of work and terribly slow.
Easier is combat probes.
Only if it is in a proper location that can be reached through warping between existing and potentially appearing and manually created objects and locations which is not always the case.

That is true.
If the grid with the MTU is outside the volume spanned by all the existing objects in a system you won’t be able to reach it with warping and bookmarks.
You must be in nullsec. If it were anywhere in Empire, somebody would have found and popped it already.
Probing isn’t too hard to get the hang of. Get a cheap T1 explo frigate with some of those midslot mods and some rigs that increase probe strength. There’s some good videos on youtube that explain how to do it.
