October 1:  Venus & Mercury, then Saturn Neptune and Vesta

Venus and Mercury are extremely low in the west after sunset, requiring an almost perfect western horizon and clear skies down to the horizon to see.  Saturn and Neptune are half-way up the eastern sky in mid-evening, joined also by Vesta and Pallas; I didn't catch Pallas on this image but next time I will frame the scene better to include it!
