It's not hard at all. Even my f/12 scope can easily get true fields of over one degree, depending on choice of eyepiece. I find this ideal for star hopping, after initial homing in with an RDF or similar.

If you use enough magnification to see good detail on planets you'll always be busy pushing the scope along, regardless of focal ratio.

Cheers
