Washed out

We've been washed out in more ways than one lately. It has been rainy or cloudy almost all of May so far and now the moon is coming on strong. Tonight (and last night) it is passably clear but a first quarter moon is just too bright. Arcturus and Ursa Major are high overhead and quite visible as is Spica in the South but dim stars are invisible. I did manage to snag a satellite traveling fast from S to N in the vicinity of Arcturus about 10:51 but heavens above didn't have it listed. I could see it easily with my 7x50's but not unaided. I may try for Scutum's treasures later tonight after the moon sets... and then again I may not!
