moon brightness

Hello All,

I've been dying to get out with the telescope, but the weather in New England is not cooperating (surprise). There looks to be some clear skies coming Thursday night, but the moon will be around 5 days old. This time of year that means it's low in the sky in the Sag.-Capricorn area. Will this be an issue if I want to look at deep sky objects (say, M33) in other parts of the sky?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Jim
