Do you have any wider fov eyepieces?
I'm not super experienced myself, but a 25mm plossl at the focal length in your 8se is still fairly narrow filed of view. I was using my 36mm wide angle eyepiece in my 550m scope yesterday and was surprised how hard it was to find. I saw a pic of Saturn superimposed on the sun this morn, the apparent size isn't as a big a difference as I thought it'd be.
