Ben when looking for Dso's i like to stick with a simple formula..that is size of the mirror in mm divided by 2..in your case 150/2 = 75.
that is the magnification(75x) i would like to use to scan around for dso's with..at this magnification if you used a 68 deg eyepiece you are getting just below 1 deg {some of the 60-68deg ep's around are hyperion, stratus, meade swa, pentax xf, Wo swan..TV panoptic/radian)
i would use this magnification most (or a little less - say between 50-75x) - then for higher mag you might want something about 100x more - this will be to zoom in for planets, faint nebuale or GC's
everyobe has there own preference though - some like to push magnification much more - others just like low magnification that wide view give
