Hey Joel,
well done on finding a few targets
If you've got Skeye, depending on you horizon, try for NGC104, NGC5139 NGC2070, M42. You should find these big 4 and they'll blow you away.
Whilst seeing isn't too good tonight (despite the seemingly clear sky), these targets are big and bright enough to get a descent look, even in light polution.
The conditions of the sky are likely one reason you can't make the star pinpoint, but have you collimated the scope?
Collimation, at 1st is daunting, but it's actually a doodle. Its simply a process to align the optical path.
If you haven't done this, I suspect that's part of the reason for your lack if crispness. Do a google or ask questions here on this separate topic if you need some assistance in this area.
Enjoy.
Paul
