You can buy finder scopes that have a 90 degree diagonal on the end so you look in to them from the side. I've seen them on quite a few Dob's. Alternatively you can buy a red dot finder which is easier to look through from various positions. Both are probably about the same price.

It was probably out of focus, or there was thin cloud you didn't visually see impacting your view. Sirius should appear as a small pinpoint of light when properly focused with clear skies.
