Once your eq. mount is aligned, you can align the setting circles on a known bright star, there are many listings of bright stars out there. From then on the circles will be set for the night to find whatever you want.

I had heard something of 'arm's length, fists, thumbs' and the such, but I'd leave this to someone else.
