Light pollution only has an impact on observing "faint fuzzies" - galaxies, nebulae, and other objects that are, well, faint and distant. It has essentially no impact on bright things such as almost anything within the Solar System, most of the nearby stars, some star clusters, etc. The other big problem for astronomy, seeing (or air turbulence) is exactly backwards. It's the main enemy of seeing planets or other high resolution targets, but it has no impact on faint fuzzies, because your eye can't see much detail on those anyway. This is why from my backyard, in one of the most light-polluted places on Earth, I can observe planets just fine. However, nebulae, or even the outline of the Milky Way, are difficult or impossible to see. (This is related to amateur astronomy.)
