if you have goto, get your mount as true south as you can get, slew to a star near the SCP. don't use the hand paddle just manually man handel the mount left right up and down till you get your star in the middle of the EP, you will be close enough to the SCP at the end of that sequence. if you want to go further then you have to use your camera.
to utilize technology you really need a secondary CCD and a guide scope. then you can open your mount up!
