Last night I was home late from work but was still able to observe. It's one of the advantages of having an observatory -- I rolled it away when I got home to let the scope cool while I had dinner and took care of my evening chores. So when I was ready, at around 9:30pm, I needed only step outside to enjoy the views. I simply gazed at the moon with binoviewers, enjoying all the features and wrecked rubble. I had my atlas with me but chose not to open it or try identifying anything. Seeing was poor, unfortunately; but it will be good tonight.
Thursday night I was out briefly for some moon gazing and to try for some closer doubles. Seeing was only moderate, and transparency off, so it wasn't very successful. At 553x:
STF 840: B maybe elongated? Not sure. Seeing too poor, need the 20"?

STT 124: Briefly split in the best moments, 1 second out of 10. Yellow-white and small, hard blue B.

Fab 5: Maybe a misshapen disk -- but not steady
