I didn't realise you could just push the scope around once set up though, does that not ruin the star alignment?

I remember in the good old days we used to "star hop" to a target. It was half the fun of the hobby because you just never knew what you would find. You could consider getting a decent right angle finder, say a stellavue 60mm -80mm and really do it simple....
