Depends on the target and what is nearby. Jupiter makes things easier as the Galilean moons are sufficiently bright. Otherwise you shouldn’t have to move too far for a sufficiently bright star...if you’ve already got the planet in the FOV, set the sync point and it should at least go back afterwards.

If you align the finder scope and main scope well enough, you should have a reasonable hit rate. I use a standard 50mm RACI on my C11 (+Barlow). Alternatively, you could employ a flip mirror.
