The Moon and Mars rise together

[Jonk]

Pretty much due East, I see a horrible orange glow above a distant rooftop.

My first thought was euurk, lights.

It then became brighter until I saw the top of the moon.

Aha! I’ll let you off then.

Then as I moved a bit, Mars poked round a treetop to join in.

They’re both in the fov of my bins and it’s nice to look at the moon without being blinded.

Get out there and have a look!

Saw that as I was packing up, was going to see if I could get a quick snap of them both but cloud stopped play.

Yes it was very pretty.  Although I got some photos, the difference in brightness makes for a rather dull image..

I didn’t have a camera to hand otherwise I would have tried something.

Very nice views though, and also to the south was Jupiter and Saturn blazing at their highest altitude.
