Do ya'll know if a focal reducer would work visually for a wider field with a scope such as this C8?

Yes. This is the one I use: http://www.celestron.com/c3/product.php?ProdID=358

Can something like this work for a finder for a monster Dob?

Sure, but as has been noted, it might be too heavy unless the Dob is truly monstrous. patrick
