Observation 1, 9/11/10

This observation is from September 11th, 2010.  I looked up at the sky from my front yard at 9:20 P.M.  The sky was relatively clear as far as I could tell and it was completely dark outside.  I saw that the Moon was in the waxing crescent phase.  I also noticed that it looked very orange and it was very low in the sky.  I couldnt see any planets or any other objects in the sky except for the stars.
