Default Eyepiece projection & FOV

I need a large FOV for searching/detecting satellites and tracking too.
I track satellites manually using the Autostar's arrow keys. You need
to have a large FOV to keep the satellite in the field with those
arrow keys. I do it for two reasons. Firstly, the 497 Autostar's
satellite prediction algorithm is not accurate and reliable. Meade just
cut corners. Secondly, very often I just happen to stumble on a
satellite and I start following it. With a smaller field of view I
would never be able to stumble on a satellite nor follow it.
