Learn how to Drift Align, you won't look back, once you get the hang of it you will be up and running with acurate GOTO's in no time. Takes me about 20 minutes during twilight and I only use the Setting Circles on my field mount to find objects.

If your Polar Scope is not aligned with the Polar Axis of your mount will never point at the SCP. A Drift Align will get you close enough to spot on everytime.

Do a search on this forum and you will find a mountain of information about Drift Aligning.

Cheers
