DJVege, I made this pic up a while ago for just such ocassions.
Once you've found the South Celestial Pole, it's easy to find again.
If you're having trouble finding it with you big binocs, there's something strange going on because it's easily found in 7 x 50 + smaller.
You need a 'Moon Filter' ( point 96, Neutral Density) to see the moon without being 'blinded'. Although there are some who do not like using them. They like it 'naked' so to speak.
Once your t'scope mount is Polar aligned, you can move it anywhere with the controls, as long as you don't move the mount.
HTH.
