An 8mm eyepiece would only give you 159X - hardly worth the effort in my opinion.
You'd want at least a wide angle 5mm for around 250X or 6.3 mm for 200X.
If you Barlowed or Powermated that 8mm eyepiece that you want, then you'd get 320X, which might be okay on some or many nights, depending on where you live. But it might be frustrating too.
