I have been out under the moon for the past 4 - 5 nights, Had alot of success with clusters (not as bright and brilliant as usual, but still very easily observed depending on apparent proximity to the moon.... Last night i was able to see omega cent. with the naked eye (as a fuzzy patch) when the moon was near by. Eta carinae, Great Orion and M20 were all visible, but noticably more dull than during new moon.
if you have a UHC filter or LPR, your night will be much more enjoyable.
