Just be aware that there was still smoke hanging over the central coast last night, I could see it just looking out over the lake and smell it at west Lake Macquarie. I actually tried to get the scope out last night, because the previous night improved on the back of the winds that pushed it away, but the haze was still present. There are still some active fire at Mimni near Newcastle, and some smoke is being carried in from the Blue Mtns on the back of the southwesterly winds (and this tends to be held much higher in the atmo than the low level smoke from Minmi).

Try to get a smoke/seeing assessment from the guys in Gosford before you head up there.
