The first scope that I ever owned was a 4" Tasco reflector, maybe 20 years ago (0.96" eyepieces and all). I had no idea how to set it up, or how to point it at anything of note. The first object that I ever managed to point it at turned out to be saturn. There was no mistaking it, rings and all...and I was hooked.

In an 8" you'll see plenty, and there'll certainly be no mistaking what you're looking at. Just make sure your scope is collimated and you'll be on a winner!
