One of the most visible is the Orion Nebula, (M42, NGC 1976) the centre few stars of his 'sword'. You'll have to to get up early am though as he is better placed late Autumn, Winter. I can easily see this in my little 80mm Refractor and the 114 Newt so an 8" will really pull it in. ( My 10" will give some colour ).
The other is Eta Carinae (NGC 3372) which is quite large and should show dust lanes dependent on yor LP level. That whole area is full of Open Globs, and other interesting stuff.
Lagoon (M8, NGC6423) and Trifid (M20, NGC 6514) should show some nebulosity if you are patient with your dark adaptation and get a reasonably clear night.
These are probably the most easily seen Nebs down this way.
