Kevin as I said last night the cloud moved back in here just about when you posted but it had been pretty good prior to that - good enough that i was considering imaging. If your using your binos to judge the magnitude on the Bortle scale at least you get abit more 'reach' than the naked eye. If you have the scope out you can easily 'see' the atmospheric conditions by selecting a star and defocus (outward usually) to see the effects of the atmo on your view - if It's wobbles all over the circle your seeing will be atmo limited, if it is rock solid and you can see the collimation rings clearly then you have good seeing, relatively speaking.
