Mike - You seem to be completely mis-informed about the quality of Sydney skies here. Canberra skies would be way way darker than Sydney CBD in the heart of a population of 5 million- you are lucky to see more than a few brighter stars by naked eye. When was the last time you stood on Observatory Hill and looked up at the sky? I contend that a 6" telescope would be completely useless there.
