In your finderscope, you should be able to see the trapezium made up of beta, v, delta and sigma Octans seen in this map (after doing mental rotations), assuming everything is aligned correctly and you have the telescope set at 90 degrees declination. The SCP is next to Sigma Octans as in the map.

As you rotate your telescope in RA, the SCP point doesn't move.
