The C8 has a 38mm clear aperture at the rear of the scope. A practical low power eyepiece that avoids vignetting is the 35mm Panoptic which has a 38mm field stop. A 31mm Nagler would be useable but with some vignetting since it has a 42mm field stop.

I tried a 50mm GSO superview with a C8 and while the eyepiece is decent, I didn't keep using it due to sky brightness in my light polluted yard - it would be fine at a dark site.
