I'm in the inner suburbs, brisbane. What would you suggest looking at on nights when the moon is up and the jet stream is playing havock? I have a 3.5 inch mak and 13mm and 43mm EP's I also have a clear view south but not north. Would this be a good time to look around the pole to try and get a feel for the pole stars, or are they too dim from the city?

BTW, I don't have an equatorial mount, just an old manfrotto tripod.
