Ian, why do you post an opinion based not on personal experience but what you surmise?
I live in an inner Wollongong suburb; during the last Mars opposition I could observe the polar cap and syrtis major. On good nights I can see five Saturnian moons. The steelworks is about 4 kms to the south but does not affect my enjoyment of objects like 47 Tuc. or the Tarantula.
Like any urban environment it's not the best for galaxies but I can see structure in the brighter ones like NGC253.
If I want to see more I go to a dark site but rarely feel the need to do so.
Mark.
