Hi Jason,

A small high quality refractor, say a televue or takahashi 85/80mm will give pleaseing widefield views with say a 26 mm Nagler (23 mag).

Usually though the view will not be so pleasing in a cheaper ED80. The cheaper scopes have a great deal of field curvature which is fine for taking photo's as it can be corrected with a field flattener but not so fine for viewing where the smaller focal length eyepieces tend to give better results.
