Thought so!
With aligning the finder, simply way is take it out in daylight, select a distant target (top of a tree, telephone pole or TV antenna are good).
Be VERY careful not to point it anywhere near the sun, in fact I used to do it under the shade of my veranda so I couldn't accidentally point it at the sun!
Then find your target in the main scope using your widest lowest power eyepiece, then use the screws on you finder to align the same thing and you are done!!
Well done on collimating also, it is something that intimidates many beginners, but once done a few times becomes very easy.
Also I meant to let you know with finding Jupiter, if it is clear it would be very easy tonight as it is just next to the moon!
