You need to try & work out the field of view in your scope - then you can use this to calculate how mnay fov's you need to move in order to go from one object to the other. It's not perfect becuase the earth is a 3d sphere, and we are using a 2d square to approximate , but if you practice on some easy to see stars or the planets you will work it out. You will need an astronomy program to to get the coords of objects so you know how far they are apart. the ra/dec is listed for items if you click on them,
Nick , can you post some specs of your scope, focal length & what size eyepiece you troll around with
