Welcome. When I started viewing with my C8, I had Bright Star Atlas and Sky Atlas 2000 1st Edition, both by Will Tirion.
Bright Star Atlas is only useful for binoculars and small telescopes, but I still found and do find it useful as it plotted the 600 or so brightest and best of what is in the sky, and listed the coordinates of each, as well as relevant details including names and brightness. Thus it was a great filter for the "wow" objects in each class.

Sky Atlas 2000 1st Edition had one great advantage over all others - pretty much everything it plotted was visible in an 8" telescope using an eyepiece with a 2mm exit pupil (though you'd need a UHC filter for some of the tiny planetary nebulas). So, whichever page you were on, you could happily move your 8" scope around the page and see all the objects.
Unfortunately Sky Atlas 2000 2nd Edition added a more objects, making it not quite as good filter for an 8" telescope.
I've just been comparing Pocket Sky Atlas to Sky Atlas 2000 1st edition, and it plots nearly all the objects in the latter - which is good, as your 8" will be able to see all of them. The down side is that the individual pages in Pocket Sky Atlas don't cover as much of the sky, making it more awkward to use - especially for a beginner.
I actually shrank each chart of my Sky Atlas from its big size to two A4 sheets, and put the pages in those plastic display folders they sell everywhere. The result is that the scale is about the same as in Pocket Sky Atlas, but that I prefer the shrunk Sky Atlas because more of the sky is visible in each equivalent page.

But unfortunately it has an awful lot of pages.
Alternatively, JR's A and B downloadable atlases might suit suit you (though he packs a lot of stuff in).
