Hi Forge,

With a 8 inch the planets - Saturn and Jupiter will be visible with good detail. Bright open clusters like jewel box , southern pleaides and globular cluster 47 tucanae and omega centauri.

Other objects will be pleasing which you will discover which objects you like to view.

Or do you have to be somewhere, where it's pitch dark with no street lighting around?
