Brisbane and Light Pollution

Hi All

I live in the Springwood area of South Brissie. Had the scope (10" dob) for about a month so itching to see more.

I have spotted a NGC253 but can only pick up a smudge being the middle section. Picked up a few more faint galaxies, viewed nebulas etc.

Would I see this better in dark skies and if so I am interested in driving out of the burbs to get better viewing. How far would I need to go as I was thinking around Pimpama/Ormeau way? My thoughts are to head out once every couple of weeks but don't wish to drive too far.

Any help would be appreciated .

cheers

Dave
