I use an Orion 38mm Q70, which is basically the same eyepiece. I mainly use mine for star hopping, but I also use it on each side of The Veil Nebula with an O-III filter with excellent results. The 8mm exit pupil is fine and many people go on about the large exit pupil which is overblown. Sure the edges are soft and I get an 8mm exit pupil but what I really like about this eyepiece is that there are zero blackouts or critical eye positioning, and I get a really big field of view with it for really large targets. IMO, this is a great "bang for the buck" eyepiece. If you want a bit better correction but also want the 2 degrees of field, I recommend the 34mm ES 68 degree eyepiece, which I also owned but only sold to get two eyepieces to replace it.
Note the shot of the moon with just a hand held camera through this eyepiece!
Cheers,
