Hi Graham, i'm in a very similar situation to you actually. I had my first night out with my skywatcher 8" dob last night and saw pretty much the same things you did, i had a blast.
Let me know how your accessory hunting goes as i'll, probably be doing the same. As far as the finderscope difficulties i'm thinking of buying a Telrad. I'll let you look it up but they sound like a great addition, particularly with how awkward it can be using the finder on the dob.
Joel.
