My uncle is into astronomy, and he's in Washington, DC. So I guess you can see some things even in highly populated areas. But that said, yes, you will benefit greatly from having better darkness. When my family went to Bryce Canyon (I think we stopped there because my name is Bryce) many years ago, they had a bunch of telescopes set up, and they said that that was the darkest place in the continental US, so it was ideal for astronomy.
