It's a combination of general Sydney light pollution and mission control next door (which is directly in my view of the Tarantula part of the sky). I find nebulas one of those things where I'm asking myself, "is there something there or am I imagining it?" The view for the western sky is less light polluted but still no clear cut views of nebulas.
Maybe some type of filter may help - I've read that Lumicon make a good one and the Orion Ultrablock is good too.
At present, I need to get the goto pretty accurate, then when it slews to a to a target I take a pic and then centre it from that.
BTW - that tip you gave me about shooting the moon really paid off, I got a couple of really good shots last night.
