Yep, the age old art of star hopping. I'm still hopeless at it at times. It took me half an hour to find NGC1365 two nights ago. It didn't help that it wasn't visible in the eyepiece even when pointed at it due to haze.
I find Stellarium with the extra stars loaded helps zero in on targets. But even with red screen it mucks up night vision. I think a GOTO scope would be the best idea.
