At out SVAA club nights I put the 12" dob on Galaxies and then those using 8' dobs look at the same galaxies. They always see them. And Eric (Erick) brings his 8" and we compare views of Galaxies and they aren't very much different. But all this is done from a very dark site. But many can still be seen in an 8" dob with slight light pollution. Very hard from any site with the Moon glowing though.
