Im in sydney and have an 8 inch dob, the light pollution is terrible so finding stuff is pretty hard (but a nice challenge). Im new, but still have managed to see m4, m7, 47 tuc, omega centuri and a bunch of other stuff (sometimes ill just tour the sky and randomly find stuff lol). The problem is that some nights the sky will be amazingly dark, but if theres any cloud or maybe alot of dust in the atmosphere it turns to crap.
So dont worry too much, you will still be able to see DSOs, however it will alot harder to see fine detail and you'll be really happy when you finally get a clear night.
