I have a Nexstar 8SE, and find my two favourite eyepieces with it by far are a Nagler 16mm and 9mm, which, when the 0.63FR is fitted (which I typically do for non-planetary observing), yields FOV of roughly 1 degree (80x) and half a degree (142x). They cover most objects you're likely to want to observe with this telescope (if you want to go wider and stick with 1.25", you can go a Panoptic 24mm, but really, it's better to get a rich field scope for such viewing >1deg). Lovely eyepieces, and with the FF fitted, pin-sharp to the edge.
