Just the moon, but a nice shot taken soon after moon-rise this evening and hence the orange hue. Looking east at a low elevation, rather than looking up, means that there is about 3 times the depth of atmosphere for the light to pass through before it reaches the camera. That's what creates the colour. Fuller technical data in the camera note below.
