Don't listen to them Shaun!
Here is what you really need:
- Rigel quickfinder. (yes, telrad is better but just little too big for an 8" IMO) - nice pair up with your RA finder.
- and eyepieces:
24mm Panoptic
13mm T6 Nagler OR 12 and 8.5mm Pentax XF.
Orion Deluxe 2x 1.25" barlow
Also get a planisphere if you haven't got one yet.
