Try to tease out the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. You might even fluke an eclipse transit going across its face.

If you haven't already, Comet Lemmon is a go. Its wispy soft tail should be visible in your scope. There's an excellent thread on Lemmon running in the Events Forum with current charts on where to find it:

Not far from Lemmon is 47 Tuc which is easily resolvable in a 70mm scope. The near full Moon won't hinder viewing this magnificent globular cluster.

Just 3 things to look at.
