Don't bother with this one, Jen. For us, it rises only partially eclipsed - so partially it will be difficult to see - binoculars will show some shadow. and by the time it gets to a whole 5 deg elevation, it is all over.

Be patient until Dec 10 2011 when we will have a beauty! Around midnight Dec 10 to 2am Dec 11; Moon up at 32 deg elevation which is its maximum elevation to the North that night; in the vicinity of Orion/Taurus. If skies are clear, this will be great!
