Adam,
You dont have to wait till new Moon to see it. This morning I got up around 4.15 am and looked at Moon, Saturn and Venus. They looked great cos the air is cold and clear in the morning.
From early evening you simply can't miss Jupiter. Look up and you'll see it
A bit later, maybe around 9.30 pm on, look right and you will see the greatest nebula of them all Great Orion nebula ( M42). Also Tuk 47 (NGC 104 Globular cluster) is great from home polluted sky.
cheers
bob
