A lot of it will depend on what your target is & what conditions it's under, even which direction you're facing. You may have to consider a light pollution filter to help if imaging from home - maybe something like a Baader Neodymium or Optolong L-Pro. There is a few decent content makers on YouTube that deal with imaging in heavier light pollution - AstroBackyard, Nebula Photos & Cuiv, The Lazy Geek to name a few.
Your skies are worse than mine (you're in Bortle 6, borderline 7, compared to my 4/5) but you also have to consider other sources of light pollution like the moon phase as well as seeing conditions. My choice is to shoot at mid-range ISO (800-1600) and vary the exposure time to suit conditions. For example, Monday night the moon was pretty full so I shot ISO 800 @ 60 seconds. In darker conditions I shoot at ISO 800/1600 & increased exposure time. But it is going to take a little trial & error on your part to get it right.
And here is my poorly edited result from Monday - Canon 1100D, 102mm triplet, 105 x 60s + calibration files.
