Set your scope up and do a 1 star align. If the star is not in your finder move the mount manually and try again until the first star is a least in the finder. Then do the goto, I find that 2 star alignment is good enough for visual.(ps skip the polar scope part, it might work ok in the northern hemisphere but not very easy down south)
Here's a video link that might be of help.
