Thanks for the advice Eric. I was looking for The Jewel Box last night, but couldn't make it out. I'll look for 47 Tucane next time as well. I forgot to mention that I had also seen Jupiter.
Unfortunately, it looks like the next few nights are going to be pretty ordinary. Hopefully next week we'll get some clear skies.
