Does it fit the NexStar 8 SE?

Yes. It is made for the NexStar 8 and 8 SE optical tube and mount. Check your tube length if you have a modified setup.

Is the case waterproof?

No. The fabric resists dust and light splashes but will let rain through. Use a dry bag or cover in wet weather.

Space beyond the scope is limited. Small items may fit, but eyepiece cases are better for a full accessory set.

It is lighter and easier to handle, but a hard case protects better against drops and stacking. Choose based on how you transport the scope.

Yes, the padded interior is sized to hold the tube and mount together for transport.
