The way I was taught is to spend more time at the eyepiece.. and essentially allow the photons to build up.... I've found it very useful information.. When i first got my scope, if i peered into the eyepiece and couldnt immediately see the target, I assumed that I wasnt pointing in the right spot or that it was out of the mag limit for my scope... After learning that more time at the eyepiece would help... i would gaze into the eye piece for sometimes up to 10 minutes..

This helped greatly, and I've now seen quite a few fairly dim objects from light polluted skies.
