Recommend large FOV refractor

I learned during the recent lunar eclipse that I cannot get the whole moon in the FOV of my 80mm refractor and Tuocam 840. Can anyone recommend a moderately priced refractor that would do the job?

Thanks,
Mark J

I know that 450mm focal length comes up short - a larger chip camera would be a better choice than a smaller telescope, I think.

best,
