Locate It With a Single Power Finder
To find your objects with speed and ease, try adding a single power finder to your telescope. The single power finder is not the same as a finderscope, which magnifies the image in view. You can use your single power finder as a simple and quick method of locating objects. All you need to do is look through a simple power finder and point your telescope in the right direction. Within the view of the single power finder, you'll see a bulls-eye pattern. Your goal will be to center your object of choice within the pattern. An ideal way to start is by using a lower power eyepiece to give you a wider field of view.
