As Wren says, it can be done. I observed one (initially bt accident, and thought I must have seen a ufo!) for around 45 minutes back in the late 80's through a Tasco 60mm Alt/Az refractor. I was looking at something else, and noticed a small flashing object in the FOV. Over the next 45 minutes or so it stayed stuck there in the FOV whilst the stars drifted past. I haven't tried to spot on on purpose though.
Cheers,
Jason.
