i tend to star hop using the finderscope - you need a 50mm imo.
i locate the nearest bright object, then work out on a not so detailed chart (eg mag6) that i need to get 13 deg & 5 deg W. i work out the deg fov of the finder using something like orion or crux, then i move the scope accordingly.
i re-check my sparse chart & re-check where i should be.then move to low power at the scope
