Something else Malcolm's comment just reminded me of - I replaced the (rubbish) 1-power finder with a simple 6x30mm finder - literally drilled new holes and bolted it on. It made finding and centreing objects vastly easier, especially if you have light pollution (IMHO). The finder will show you some of the brightest objects, and many more of the stars in the region of something you're looking for. Moon and planets are a snap! So if you're struggling with pointing the scope, that may be another idea to consider?
