As Graeme said, light pollution will play a big role in using a 1x finder. You use it to get your lowest power eyepiece on the object by using charts of the brighter stars around the object of interest, then go up from there.

I am lucky that light pollution is very low where I live so I don't even have a finder scope, just use the Telrad and charts.
