Excellent choice of finder and I'm sure you will enjoy using it very much.
If you can get to a star party have a look through a Telrad as there are bound to be a few at any star party. As I mentioned before it is a pointing device and is very useful on any telescope. It's outer circle is 4 degrees and is a nice match the the F60M which has as standard a 23mm/50deg eyepiece giving you a true field of 5deg at 10x power. Very nice indeed!
If you ever want more power you can use any 1.25" eyepiece, but you just wont have the crosshair. I've tried a few different combinations on paper and a 14mm Radian will give you 3.7deg at 16x with 3.7mm exit pupil and 20mm eye relief. Wow! A 20mm Plossl would give 4.4deg at 11x and 5mm exit pupil and a 15mm Plossl would give 3.2deg at 15x and 4mm exit pupil but not a lot of eye relief.
Anyway, enjoy your new finder!
