NFC PhistoAlternative method: blast past the destination at maximum speed then pull a loop to slow you down. Gravity wells can be used to fine tune your deceleration. Makes it a little harder on anyone pursuing you plus you can get a nice alignment to the docking port (notice that when your station is targeted in super cruise it shows your alignment to it - when you drop out of SC, that's how you'll arrive relative to the station).
Welcome to the game. There's lots to learn.
Phisto makes a good point.
My method,
Approach the destination no faster then 6 sec. That's the magic number. Anything lower then that and you'll approach to fast. Gravity well around smaller planets is a useful, but the large gas giant will make the final approach angonizingly slow.
Also note that you should try to approach a station from the inside of it's orbital path. That is, the mail slot is almost always facing towards the body it orbits. This can can cut quite a bit of time off.
