Actually the moon is pretty bad, setting at 1:45 tomorrow morning.  That
gives us less than three hours of dark time tonight and less Saturday. 
While the moon may be only 7 days old, it's currently about as far north
on the ecliptic as it can go.

Alas, the sky looks good, and I have a freshly coated, freshly refigured
20-inch mirror out of the shipping container and ready to install.
