yes, keep going. heaps to see with an 8" Dob. Just get a planisphere, some basic charts and/or guidebook and go to a dark location. Ellyard & Tirion Southern Sky Guide is one I've been using (and am still using). All the objects in there are visible in an 8" scope - many show detail. Star hopping to objects is slow at first but you'll get better at it pretty quickly. and it's fun to learn.
