Make sure the finder is accurately aligned.
If not, try aligning on the moon, big target and easy to find.
Take an image of the moon and check where what is visible, adjust the finder as needed.
Once close try on a bright star, and adjust again.
This is good enough to get the star on the chip.
After a few minor adjusts the star / planet is easily centred.
Personally I cann't stand red dot finders.

Hi Brendan,
I'm pretty sure the RDF is accurately aligned. When I manually slew the scope to a star and center it in RDF. The star is close to the center of the FOV.
Maybe a 9x50 finder or a Telrad might be a better option.
Which one of the two is better?
