Guys, for maximum magnification on planets and doubles, light pollution has very little, if any, bearing...
More important is the presence (or lack of) other houses, with heating.. and thermal turbulences that go with them.
I was able to go up to 360 (4mm ortho) with mu 10" f5.6 mirror, I tried even 2x barlow with that on Moon once, but the results were questionable and acceptable only during very brief moments of turbulences calming down.
I envy people living in small towns for their dark skies...
and when I go out (to my friend's farm in Dalesford) I am using only low magnifications with my dobson, but most times binoculars are enough :-)
