FOV question

How long does an object stay in the FOV of an 8" dob? I know it would differ based on the object but what about Jupiter or Saturn?

That all depends on what eyepeice you are using. The higher the magnification the the faster it will appear to move.

I'm sure if you give some eyepeice examples that someone will give the appropriate formula and figure it out for you, that's over my head. :-)
