As a relatively new (5 or 6) month 8" dob owner I strongly second Malcolm. I am actually surprised how many deep sky objects can be seen from an outer suburban location and how good they look - after I invested in a couple of high end EPs... Especially a 24 Pan.
The difference between these and the supplied plossls are night and day and really enhance the use and reach of the scope. You should be very satisfied from your location of you are nearer to the edge of town, even without going to a dark sky site.
Example: 5 March. Seeing and transparancy excellent. NGC 5128 - 92x (13T6) appeared like a gash in the sky with a clear dark lane border by brighter regions looking like they were raised against the background.
Not a bad view I thought and favourably compared to photos of the object in visible light.
Darren.
