Hi Glen & All
I think you'll find that the moon is setting at 9:54 not rising, you have probably realised that already with it shining nicely in the clear sky, seeing is average though. Good for low power views but shimmering at higher magnifications. Something to have a look at is C/2019 U6 Comet Lemmon, tonight located just next to M41 at Mag 7 ?. Hopefully visible in the moonlight, going out for a look now.

I have had the roof open on the observatory for most of the day for a good sunshine dry out after the storm, and some cleanup, vacuum, etc.
Good to go for tonight. Best of luck tonight. The Moon rises at 9:54pm but is not too significant yet anyway.
