Experienced observers use averted vision to locate faint objects. The outer part of the eye's field of view is more sensitive than the centre, so use a low power eyepiece which will give a wider field of view[less chance of passing by Cent A] and slowly sweep toward the expected location of the target, trying to use the leading edge of your view, not peering directly at the centre of the view. It takes a little practice, but is a big help once perfected.
