There are some satellites of Earth for us to view tonight, too. I took the following information from the Heavens Above satellite prediction site.

  Wednesday, Oct 27, 2004: Lunar Eclipse The program will begin at 9:30 PM and run until the end of the eclipse, around 12:30 AM.

  Friday, Nov 19, 2004: The Moon, Uranus and Neptune This program will be early, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so that we can catch Neptune before it sets in the west.

• The Students for the Exploration of Space have a very nice web site which lists the brightest nebulae and clusters in detail.
