Last Saturday evening (8 dec 07) it cleared up for a few hours after 9pm local, and i was able to get in some viewing with scopes. My short list of objects:
Mars (60mm, 45X)
Ceres (60mm, 3-in)
17P/Holmes (3-in) - comet still quite visible, even with naked eye
M37 )
M36 ) 3 open clusters in Auriga (60mm and 3-in)
M38 )
M42 in Orion (3-in)
M31 in Andromedia (3-in)
That evening did not look for Uranus and Neptune, but i observed them one evening at mid-week last week. Soon Neptune in Capricorn will be too low in the sky to view after sunset. Also, have not tried for the increasingly-dim asteroid Pallas lately; last time was maybe three weeks ago.
