All as I do is fix altitude ref point , then two star alignment and go to catalogue dial in the object, and bingo I am observing the object.
At the most five minutes from start to observing.
I use a 16" truss dob and 9mm eyepiece to align, and the object is in the field every time.
Argo Navis is the best astronomy tool I have ever had.
As for your learning the sky it is up to you, but the more objects you observe the more proficiant you become.
