I live in West LA, where the skies are probably no greater than mag 3. The nice thing is that we rarely get clouds and the air is really stable here, but the light pollution is about what you'd expect from LA. I can still see some of the brighter nebulae though with my Nexstar 8" GPS. I was able to pull this shot of Orion from 5 minutes worth of exposures, and it was no higher than 30 degrees.
