Alan, this weekend before about midnight the moon glare was fairly considerable, anyway, so you might have found it average. I might point out that this weekend coming is going to be even worse, for that. Check the moon widget thingy, full moon this weekend. Better off holding for another week.
To give you an example of the effect of this, I couldn't see the scopes around me when I went out a few weeks ago. This weekend, I could see the ground perfectly. Not great. The moon did start to go lower at about 10pm and by midnight it'd probably been ok - this is something to watch out for in stellarium (i didn't realise until I started paging through dates that the landscape is lit by the amount of moon glare to be expected).
