The Harvest Moon was visible on October 1st and 2nd. On October 2nd in the evening, I took my girls (my puppies)out for a quick walk. I could see Mars and Moon visible in the eastern sky after 9 PM.. The pictures doesn’t do it justice.

You’re right the photo doesn’t do it justice but it’s cool knowing that that little point of light is Mars.

Thanks David! I could used PhotoSHop and put an arrow pointing to Mars. I also do not believe in editing to the photo and PhotoShop’ng the moon in the picture either. I been reading a lot a blogs on astrophotography and some take two pictures of the Milky Way and then combine the two in one, photoshop’g the background into the picture. Thanks for comment!
