One tip is to keep both eyes open when looking through the red dot finder. One eye looks through the finder and the other eye views the sky directly.
I also find it helpful to pulse the red dot off and on. That is how I align my platform to Polaris, for example.
I would check to see if there is a knob that dims the dot, and if so dim it so that you can just barely see it.
