Right now I am using an 8" Newtonian with an aperture of f/4 on an AZ-EQ6 GT and a Nikon D-7100. I live about 20km form the centre of Brisbane however on a clear night I can make out the core of the Milky Way and can see the Orion Nebula comfortably. It says according to Dark Sky that I live in the orange zone or the Suburban Sky.

However despite this I do still manage to go to a dark sky site usually every second month!
