I've got a similar setup and located 26K west of Brisbane, with good hills/trees shielding in that direction as well, so not too worried about light.

I bought a used 2" Astronomik Ha 12nm filter and my "plan" is to try that plus the QHY8 OSC pics, using my C8/6.3FR and f5 8" Newt with MPCC.

Also want to do the same with the Ha on my DSI III OSC and 3.3FR on the C8.

Sorting that lot out should keep me busy for a while.
