    I'm leaning towards going tonight. Might be around 9ish.

    Last night was good. I brought my friend Kevin.  He enjoyed it, but we'll see if he gets hooked. Some of the night was showing him some of my favorite targets. Saturn is great, of course. As is the Orion nebula, the Double Cluster and Pleiades. I went back to things I'd seen once or twice before, M65/M66, M51, M53, M64. I did finally spot the Eskimo Nebula, but I didn't see the eskimo in it. I managed to find M94 in CVn, which reminded me of M32. I also looked for NGC 129 in Cassiopeia, but I'm not sure if I saw it or not. I found a poor grouping of just over half a dozen stars, but that didn't like like any open cluster to me.
