Aligning SCP

I usually set the scope up to the south and my alt close to the local latitude.
Then I make sure my 9x50 finder scope is aligned to the scope and then just move the scope az and alt adjustments until the finder is centred on the attached star formation which I can see in the 9x50 from my suburban house in Perth looking over the city so it's reasonably easy to find especially once you know what you're looking for.
I find this works fine for visual work and is quick.

Hope it helps
