Thanks all for the comments, I used Worldwide telescope to locate Neptune, then looked for close stars to Neptune then it was an estimate to bring the scope into alignment. I was unable to locate it in my finder scope too.

The size was a mistake, I increased the picture 300% after already increasing it 200%. Plus the 500% increase using the x5 feature on live view.
It really was a fluke, when I looked at the computer screen I had to really search for it buried amongst the CMOS noise. Once I found it, big sigh of relief and managed to capture a few thousand images.

I am hoping the CCD cam will be better when I get the mogg adaptor back again, I think though the ccd will be more difficult to locate object though.
