For searching and finding objects i would think I would want a low power eyepiece and a very wide field of view. Can you make some recommendations, attached to a 2" diagonal.

Thanks,
Chris

IMHO the best true finder ep would be the one on the end if a 50mm wide angle finder scope, on top of the 8" ota.
