If you can't see the alignment star on the map, there may be a common compass accuracy problem.

In such a case tap on   to switch to manual mode and scroll the map left or right till you see the alignment star.

Then tap Align and tap on the alignment star on the map as usual.

Once aligned, tap on the object you want to find (for example M41, M47) and follow the direction line on the map till you reach the target. Now you can observe the object you selected.
