Hi Dennis,

With me, I don't bother trying to locate the octans. They are pretty faint and generally obstructed by my neighbours trees.

Find out your magnetic offset, for me in Sydney it's 11 degrees. Then get a compass out and setup your mount so it's xx degrees east of magnetic south. that should put you close enough to get started, well it works for me at least.
