Not sure why you would not be able to split alpha Cent with an 8 inch, seems odd.
I like to try alpha Crux as a test of seeing (two almost identical magnitude bright blue-white stars at 4" separation).
Enjoy the new 'scope, should be making out lots of detail on the planets etc. and keep an eye out for the shadow transits of the 4 big moons of Jupiter.
