Up until recently my observing sessions where haphazard. Thanks to this forum I "discovered" the RTGUI and Skychart combination and I now plan my sessions using these tools.
I was able to assemble a serviceable P133 notebook out of 3 salvaged duds, loaded Win 95, RTGUI and Skychart and I take it with me on my observing sessions. Using RTGUI to ID the best of the night, Skychart to produce a chart of the area of interest, a compass and an angle finder on my dob get me in the general direction. It is nudge from there until I find the object of my desires.
