You will both love the 8 inch GS .
Frosty if its not too late I would drop the 4mm eyepiece. They are just too hard to view through. the eye lens is tiny and you almost have to push your eye against the glass to see anything.
For planetary viewing the best/cheapest bet is a plossl between 10-15mm and a 2x barlow.
If you cant get a barlow yet, I'd trade the 4mm for a 6.5mm if available.
First night out with it you may find using the finder a little difficult but after a few nights practise and it will become second nature.
A technique that works well is to have both eyes open looking toward the target, one of course looking through the finder and moving the scope until the images from both eyes merge.
