The first decent telescope I got when I was young was a 4.5" newt. I saw lots of detail on Jupiter with that. One of my favourite events were watching moon transits. I would spend hours looking at stuff, but regularly check back to Jupiter to see how the transits were progressing. An 8" is plenty big enough to enjoy a lot of what Jupiter shows. The moon shadows look like little discs which I think is pretty cool.
