Hello Simon,
In my opinion it depends on what standard you are happy with. I have seen some quite good images taken in suburbs with DSLRs. My images are mediocre at best - mainly due to lack of clear skies, LP and relatively short exposures (+ other excuses). But overall I am happy with what I get as long as they give a reasonable resemblance to the object.
I find that the wider the field of view the worse light interference seems to be - especially from nearby lights. (neighbors). I hang a black sheet over a frame to try to cut out some of the direct light.
You won't be wasting your time - but your images will still suffer from LP and even if it can be processed out it obviously won't be as good as a dark site especially if you are trying to capture faint details.
Regards,
Tony.
