Odd. I use the polarscope LED set to 2-4% most of the time from my suburban site - and I'm sure that's brighter than your dark site. I start with 10% to see the whole reticle and orient myself to how Octans should look, then 0% to spot Octans (which usually takes less than a minute) then 2-4% during adjustment.
It's hardest when the moon is full. Combine that with below average transparency and those are the nights when the polarscope just doesn't do it.
