Chris,
Sketching what you see can be very rewarding...
I have that Celestron MicroGuide eyepiece....
The other is the Celestron Or6mm G-E which has a grid reticle...
Unfortunately these are more suited to double stars/ planets than deep space objects.
I haven't come across a low magnification version.
When I did the SuperNova Charts I used a 25mm eyepiece on the 12" f5 (about x60) and visually constructed lines between stars, angles between stars. alignment of one star to the line between stars etc. to get a reasonably accurate sketch.
