Danial,

A couple of posters have confused you a little.

A 40mm eyepiece with a 2" barrel is ideal for your needs in an 8"/f6 newtonian under rural skies.

This is one to consider

If you are happy to spend a bit more money then the quality improves significantly. However, that eyepiece will be good enough to keep you happy for a while and its cheap
