Ditto to the above advice about aligning in daytime. Once your finderscope is aligned it won't be so much of an issue. You may ultimately find that a Telrad will be a big help if your finder is a magnified one and not a red light pointer. I find that a telrad (or Rigel quickfind) makes finding things a lot easier (although I still often use the magnified finder as well) and at about $70 is a fair bit cheaper than an Argo Navis and very easy to set up.
