I have indeed aligned the finderscope - as well as I could, but in fact since then I haven't had a clear night to try it out. Even without the alignment on the first night I had it I was able to find Jupiter (but given its brightness that was very easy!), and my neighbour - a very experienced amateur astronomer - helped me find and view Saturn.
However, given my travails the other night, maybe a telrad and a right-angled finderscope would be helpful.
Seems that if I'm going to be frustrated by a fiddly finderscope then I should replace it with something which will work better for me.
Thanks for all your advice, folks!
