Question Light Pollution

Hey Guys,

I live in the inner-west of Sydney around the Balmain area, about 10 minutes from the CBD. I was wondering if anyone would know the naked eye magnitude limit for night time stars when the light pollution of this area is taken into account. The reason why I ask this is so that I can set my planetarium software (Stellarium and Cartes du Ciel) to reveal stars and objects up to this limit to make my simulated view of the night sky more realistic. That way I will be able to get a stronger idea of what stars and deep-sky objects will be visible from my location.

Cheers.
