I am struggling with that at the moment. I am trying to find the nebula that I took a photo of, but the orientation combined with the amount of stars in the program is difficult.

Is there a way to reduce what I am seeing in Stellarium so that what I see is similiar to what I saw in the scope?
Well, you have probably figured out that the answer is no by now. Stellarium shows it as you would with the naked eyeball, the scope will invert and rotate depending on which optical setup you are using at the time. eg a 45* diagonal will flip the image but not invert it and are normally used for terrestial viewing.
Well done on your rapid progress, keep asking questions, we're happy to help.
