1st polar align your scope and learn drift alignment for best results.
2nd you need to pick a bright object which you know the dec. at the time your viewing - try 'stellarium' (google this). This will tell you for eg. the RA and Dec of say Canopus.
3rd aim ya scope at Canopus (example) and set to what Stellarium tells you the Dec/RA is.
4th don't touch the setting circles as you move your scope to hunt your objects!
To state the obvious if you spend say 1hr looking for your object (I have) adjust this by adding 1hr on declination.
