Hi Andy,
That's a really great effort to get that far with an 8" scope. The critical thing is sky conditions and you obviously have pretty decent conditions. Under pristine skies there are probably only a handfull (10 to 20) that are out of reach of a good 8"/10" scope. It's very refreshing to see people trying for these with with smaller scopes. I try to push my 18" to the limits and hunt targets that are on the limit for that aperture ( Arp Galaxies & Palomar globs, etc).
Cheers,
John B
