Martin that's exactly what l did last night.
Inclinometer on my phone held against the tube, compass in hand standing well away from the tripod and once l had found one object (TUC), l started to get a feeling for the scale of things as right now one arc minute may as well be a welding term.
Patrick I must clarify l then moved only a bit to the east and pointed the tube at 135° and 15° up.
Very close if not smack on to NGC 3372.
My focuser trouble is due to it being damaged when l dropped my tube the other year, it works but is missing som teeth of both the internal rack and pinion.
I'll slowly replace when finances allow.
