Just read the following in a review by Ed Moreno in Astromart from 2006:-

"But you know what? Of the THOUSANDS of objects visible in the night sky, only a TINY fraction of one percent of them WON’T fit in a 1.38 degree field."

So what is an acceptable/useful actual FoV? (Let's presume the entire field is sharp, bright and usuable - hence quality eyepiece.)
