Hey Jenny,
Our skies around perth are SHOT. that much light pollution its not funny. Though if you want to see some form of colour, looking at different stars can sometimes help you. things like the Jewel box in Crux (easy to find can see it as a small cluster in a 9x50mm finder scope on my dob, Gem Cluster, pretty much the same as the jewel box though tighter a few nice yellow stars in there. Orion is one nebula that you can easily find and has a bluey green hue though very speccie. (I know that a 114mm scope can see it because my old blue scope can and its missing half the mirror). Keith at BTOW will help you and they have a viewing pad in Chittering nice people there and they will give you so much info its not funny. or Brian and Astra run classes at BTOW that will teach you heaps. Brian is a lovely fella and more than happy to spend good quality time with you to teach you about your telescope/optics/sky.
