What magnification have you been using to find them all this time?

Finding the Blue Planetary: Go a straight line from delta crucis a few degrees (about the width of your thumb).

While you're in Crux, if you haven't already seen it, head to beta crucis and move left slowly only about a degree or 2 and there lays a most magnificent ruby red carbon star, hence nicknamed ruby crucis.
