I usually don't do to much with a full or gibbous moon. So, since you want to go out, I wouldn't try to many galaxies but double stars and some open clusters will be fine. I would recommend the following from Tom Trusock Small Wonders Cassiopeia Don't try the nebula or galaxy with the moon this bright. Good luck and enjoy.

Historian Donald Osterbrock called him (Edward Barnard) an "observe-aholic," because Barnard, happiest when he could spend all night observing, was moody and difficult when the sky was cloudy.
