Evening photography challenge for 23 October.

Look southwest, just above the horizon about 45 minutes after sunset. The crescent moon will be next to Mercury and Mars.

Binoculars will probably be helpful, and you can't have any obstructions along the southwest horizon.

The finder chart shows (red wire rectangle) the amount of sky coverage of a 135mm lens for a camera with an APS-C sensor (or a 200mm lens and a camera with a full frame sensor).

BTW, if you wait another 20 - 30 minutes, comet A6 Lemmon will be visible farther to the right and a bit higher up. Bonus!
