I often did visual in my home (Fremont, CA) with my 10" Dob.
The light pollution is usually bad so I mainly focus on Carbon Stars or Double Stars.
I got my 10" Dob used from a local guy and it turns out a pretty good (and famous) one.

Sometimes at backyard where is a little bit darker... ;-)
Sometimes at front yard if I feel lazy to drag the scope...
My mom enjoy observing Jupiter !
I also take some photos with my iPhone...
If weather permit, I also go to the monthly SJAA event. Those events are hosted in various semi-dark sites 1hr away from my house. I usually take off from home at 6pm and arrive at 7. Setup and wait for it gets dark and start observing at 9pm, pack at 12.
