Hi Dave,
I'm a 4" refractor owner and love it (reformed Dob owner who saw sense!). I'm confined to Melbourne's SE, which is pretty much the centre of the city these days. If you scan for my obs reports in the Observation Reports folder here you'll see the things I've bagged from a light polluted site.
Some tips...
- with Sag, Oph and Sco up at the moment, you should be able to bag all the Messier globs around there.
- double stars are wonderful, and there are tons of them.
- the later in the evening you go, the better you're scope will perform (people turn the lights out and go to bed, thus the skies get darker, and the atmosphere seems to settle down).
- nothing compares to taking your scope to a dark sky site.
