Made this comment elsewhere but it's probably more applicable here

With regards to inability to observe, looking at the forecast, I'm wondering if this Thursday could be a rare possibility for observing in Sydney for the first time in a long time (and possibly the last time for a long time)? Though there will be residual heat from earlier in the day, if we're lucky and the forecast holds up then the wind looks to change to SSE which could knock a little bit of the smoke and heat away but still remain mostly clear of cloud (previous cool changes that blew some of the smoke away have also brought cloud with it... this one might not).

Moonrise isn't until 1:30am so that's OK too.

I hold out a lot less hope for Saturday as if the forecast holds up the wind will be WSW blowing smoke straight in, followed by a rather thick and cloudy cool change.
