    I only have two attempts at tracking Mir in my 8" f/10.
    Using a 40 mm eyepiece I had trouble except using the finder
    then tracking in RA only.  A 5 mm eyepiece would be difficult
    for me.
    
    I typically use the 40 mm eyepiece for tracking GEOs and new
    launches.  On a few occasions, I switch to a 25 mm or 17 mm
    but 40 mm is used over 95% of the time (sat viewing and astro
    stuff)
