Well, I suggest getting more acquainted with the Questar Dec and RA circles. These larger circles make finding objects easy imo. And you do not have to have a precise polar alignment (although the more accurate the better). I suggest getting an eyepiece that has illuminated crosshairs, or using the Questar 40-80x (one of my favorites), that has the NSEW pointers, so you can eyeball the center for polar alignment. And if you don't have the latest Questar manual, I suggest getting that (about $20), as it explains numerous alignment techniques in detail.
