I looked at the moon for a while using binoviewers. Seeing was good enough to use the 10mm eyepiece, and full aperture (267x). There were many interesting features however my moon atlas was in the house and I didn't retrieve it. After an hour or so I slewed to Uranus, which was just a few degrees away, and was easy to find as a light blue orb with a tan color sash along one limb.
I went back outside at nearly 9:00pm, and went in on doubles. Seeing was uneven, and I had my cleanest views with the 8-inch mask on and only 333x. Transparency was poor, with a haze showing around the moon -- all of which limited me to brighter pairs. Conditions seemed to improve somewhat after 10pm, but I eventually tired out at 11pm and packed in. The forecast was for more clouds building overnight, so I didn't feel bad.
