Hi Tony,
Just a tip.
Most people get more joy (and WOW factor) observing the moon (through a telescope) when it is just half illuminated (quarter moon if you prefer), like tonight, as the sun is at an angle to it and shadows depict the profiles of craters etc more dramatically. IMHO
Trouble is it won't rise until around midnight tonight.
So First Quarter is probably your best viewing time.
