would indicate that visually a 30" scope should top out at around 17th magnitude in a mag 6 sky.
You can also forget photopic vision...images at this intensity level are very much shades of gray.
What did my rig CCD pull in mag 4 skies? Try around mag 20.
It's interesting how perceptions are often mixed
