I have a 10" dob.
This one is a ripper idea. I do this all the time (Sky Safari). The night before I look at "tonights best" and make a list in a notebook. The night of viewing, I use my phone or ipad and look at the current settings of the object and find it in the sky. Just make sure you have the red settings.
I have found Sombrero doing exactly this and in my backyard. True dark skies are best of course.
