One thing you might consider is an Eyepiece with cross hairs. I think they are all the same, but I have a Celestron one that looks just like this. It allows you to get a more accurate alignment more easily. First you can align the scope and the finderscope to each other better. Then when setting up/aligning the telescope, first find the object in the finderscope, then get closer with the main scope. If you use a wegde, it can also be used for drift alignment.

What finderscope are you using?
