If you really want to use it, if you have a camera tripod, remove the tube from the dobsonian mount and see if you can rig up a way to mount on a tripod. Then get a red dot finder and that will help a lot.
I bought the version o this that was being sold as a "solar" scope a while back and it is tripod mounted and is sort of useable. The dobsonian mountings are simply too lightweight to be effective.
If have used mine to get quite a few objects, but I have the advantage of having done a lot of star hopping over the years.
