I've pm'ed you Ron
Hopefully I'll see you soon anyway.

I've had a look to see what's in the sky that night:

Mars and a 7 day old moon sitting side by side only 2° apart in the NW sky, both setting roughly around 10:50

Orion sitting just N of W, starts setting around 10pm

Saturn in the NE-N sky sitting at a convenient altitude, transits at 8:42 pm

Crux, Omega Centauri, Carina Nebula, etc, all similarly well presented to the South, LMC also visible but SMC quite low even early in the night.

The list keeps going on.... A visual feast really!!
