It looks like the sky will be clear throughout the week. What a great summer this was.
I use this really neat free astronomy planetarium software called Cartes Du Ciel: here is the link to download it:  http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/

Its perfect for a laptop and a clear night like tonight. You can set it  so it moves in realtime adjusted to your exact time, date, and location.

You can also zoom in on nebula and galaxies, log into this NASA database, and have a real image of what you are seeing.
