When I lived in a unit near the city (Sydney) I used my 8" Dob on a balcony that faced north-east, so I could get reasonable views of the planets when they were rising and also some brighter globulars (e.g. Omega Centauri, M4, etc). After a while I sold it and kept only a small ED refractor, but there were plenty of times when I wished I still had the Dob (which was a fraction of the price of the refractor).
