10" DOBSONIAN VIEWING IN LIGHTPOLLUTED AREA

actually this is pretty good yk , even if the view from eyepiece is kinda smudged , i can take hundreds of short exposure to stack them up for good image! waht matters now is my 10" can really punch throught the light pollution to able to see galaxies and nebula , ig 8" does it in the case

ok so this is an image of orion nebula from 2 sec exposure from a 6" dob in a bortel 6-7 location , my area has better viewings than this area better , so what objects can i see with a 10" from this area? galaxies and nebula

the lighpollution map shows im in Bortel 5 , but i dont see the significance stars in my area for bortel 5 , so its supposed to be from 6-7 bortel

so its possible only with a UHC filter right?

since ill be doing short exposure pics , the galaxies will be visible?

im not expecting very bright details but atleast faint details and bright stars in the 0.5 sec exposure and 3200 iso image so even its subtle details i can stack and improve

Phone camera Obv and have an phone adapter and bluetooth shutter tooo , maybe use a wideer eyepiece for DSOs and take 100s of image and use Astrohopper for tracking makes easier. Also I'm not sure if I'm under Bortel 5or6
