This idea would be dificult to implement, since what you see at the eyepiece doesn't only depend on the telescope. What you see at the eyepiece is also severely affected by light pollution and seeing conditions. If you use the exact same telescope from a 'typical' light polluted suburb in Sydney in poor seeing conditions, and compared it to what you would see from a true dark site under ideal seeing conditions, it will not be the same, it wouldn't even be close. With seeing conditions, for every arcsecond you lose to seeing conditions, you lose 0.7 of a magnitude worth of stars that you can detect. In other words, with 1.5 arcsecond seeing you might see mag 13 stars, but with 3.5 arcsecond seeing you might only be able to detect mag 11.6 stars.
