Hi Phil
,
Personaly I don't bother with setting circles, to hard. A telrad, well aligned scope and finder scope, good charts and lots of practice using all of the fore mentioned. Oh, a binocular helps no end in the initial finding, you would be surprised how bright the faint things are (I know, a contradiction but its true)!
I use a wide angle eyepiece (21mm at 47X for me)to find stuff then zero in with a higher magnification if required.
This method uses star hopping and it's a great way to teach yourself the night sky.
Cheers and enjoy
Wade
