Now I bought a 8" f 5 and I have no idea as to what is best for this scope for
deeeeep space and minor planet work.

I have a 10" f/5 Dob (GS from OPT) and I mostly use a Vixen 8-24 mm zoom
EP. Some love them and some do not, but it has great eye relief and is
really good for hunting and zooming in if something looks a bit fuzzy
but small (with a Dob, EP changes often lose the target). Cost is below
$200, I believe, and you get lots of flexibility. It is by far my most
used EP on all scopes (refractor, Dob and two SCTs)
