Just get a "GOTO" scope
You'll see so much more quickly & will get 2 know your way around the sky soon enough.....
A lot of goto scopes require you to find at least three stars to get the goto function to work properly, and often only get you in the rough region when seeking objects. It is helpful to know your way around when trying to find stuff in the finder scope.
