What filter do you have? What eyepiece/magnification were you using? You should have noticed a significant increase in contrast with the nebula showing white against black background. Depending on the filter make you will have more or less of a greenish tinge to the white. 8" aperture is more than enough for an O-III but as always bigger equals brighter.
