Moon Observation 9/16/10

Tonight, 9/16/10, I looked up at the moon at about 10:15 pm.  I looked from my driveway in Sarasota, Florida.  The moon appeared in the southwest of the sky.  It is about a couple days into the first quarter phase, and about seventy percent of the moon is illuminated.  To the far east of the moon, I saw Venus.  The sky was clear tonight, and I could see a couple of bright stars.  I'm pretty sure that I saw Polaris to the east of the moon.
