Ambient light pollution aside, you may find your finderscope has shifted slightly since you first aligned it. I have an 8" collapsible dob also, and find the finderscope can move a very considerable amount between viewing sessions, even with a lot of care taken when moving it. This may account for your difficulty in finding a star through the eyepiece after finding it in the finderscope.
