Yes, this is what I'm currently fighting and it can be a pain when star hopping somewhere new. Sends me a bit loopy

I take it you have a right angle finderscope with the left/right reversed? If so, you may find it easier to replace it with a straight through, and simply flip the atlas upside down.

If you've got lots of naked eye stars then a 1x finder would be useful.

Once you've bagged a target for the first time, it's amazing how easily you can get back there... the memory kicks in and you hop down the stepping stones to the target.
