Full moon is boring through any scope. What you want to do is follow a full cycle. a few day old moon is a challenge but the details you see is amazing. Craters and mountains stand out when lit at dawn or dusk, just like here on earth.
Under city lights no scope will that good as the contrast is just not there.
Head out of town on a moon less weekend and you will amazed what an 8 can show you.
Dark site you will have 100x more detail and you will never run out of targets. Messier catalogue is a great starting point.
Don't hunt anything but planets around full moon. Just wait a week and you will see a huge difference in detail even in the city.
