It's just one of many programmes at the time, and this is the only clip on YouTube. Of course you septics don't understand irony. You should see Millicent Martin's tribute to JFK on this show.

Watch the terminator (the line where sunlight and darkness meet) for very interesting shadows and features. You will be able to see Jupiter's moons (but just a small dots) - it may be interesting watching them change position each night. Saturn isn't much to see, since its rings are almost edge on for several more months, but watch it change week to week as its tilt changes. Andromeda Galaxy will be lovely - not much detail but you should be able to see at least some spiral structure. Any globular clusters will be visible, as will any open cluster (one lovely one is the Pleiades in Taurus). The Orion Nebula is beautiful, as are any other nebula you find (some are faint but some can be quite easy to see in 10x50's). See if you can find a book by Terence Dickinson or Phil Harrington on observing the night sky - both talk about binocular observations.

In a dark sky you will be able to see many open clusters and some of the bright globular clusters. M45 (the pleiades), M42 (the orion nebula), and M13 (the hercules cluster) should all be pretty impressive. Also make sure you scan around the milky way in between Altair, Deneb, and Vega. The multitude of stars there is quite impressive. I would suggest that you join a local astronomy club or try and at least get out to some of their public star parties. Many of the members will have large telescopes that will provide beautiful views without the cost or hassle of dealing with your own large telescope. I hope this helps!
