I like you as a beginner am having a little trouble also. I have a 5.12" reflector and actually posted in general chat about not being able to find the sombrero galaxy 2 secs ago. I wonder if these galaxy's are out of reach for us with our beginner scopes. The red dot finder is fantastic for locating, i have a fixed finder scope with the red dot and it definatly helps a bunch. I also get pretty confused going from stelarium to scope and trying to navigate my way around. it seems to be just slightly different. especially when using a 10mm and having to flip everything in my brain to match stellarium to what im seeing. I'm sure this is something we'll just eventually get better at doing.
Clear skies to you.
