But most of all, I want tonight to be nice and clear so I can try out my new scope.

Also, I will post some pics if I can get any tonight.
Sorry I've only had the one scope so can't really say, but I'm sure you'll have a ball with that one viewing Luna, planets, open clusters, brighter nebulae (Edit: and with the camera, a whole lot more!).. congrats on the purchase. Report back to us with your first light.
