What I do to find the unfindable, is to star hop, using a star chart as a guide. Estimating the approximate position of an object, then, using my RDF and a widefield EP, I take aim. If I am close enough I'll find it (hopefully) reasonably quickly. If not I'll try again.

Also 10x50 binoculars are good for sweeping the sky, so much easier than trying it with the scope.

Agreed.

Starhopping is the way I do it too.

Get a star atlas like the 'Sky And Telescope pocket star atlas', or similar. Sky & Telescope's Pocket Sky Atlas: Amazon.co.uk: Roger W. Sinnott: Books

i do the same as Yeti. the 20x50 binoculars are a real boon.

have you got a 0-magnification finder such as a Rigel Quickfinder or Telrad or a red dot finder?? If not then definitely get one of those, they really help a lot.
