What software are you using to Image Greg? Many (APT, SGP, Voyager, Kstars/Ekos/Indi) can be configured to use plate solving to automate the pointing, or you can do as bojan mentions, get it all set up, do a goto on a known, bright object near the real target, sync on that object and then your goto on the target will be much closer. Aside from automating the pointing, plate solving has the added advantage that you can use it to get camera angle feedback so you can manually or automatically set your rotator precicely, if you have one.
