That is not the moon.
Good guess.

Wow in the photo it looks too big & dim to be a star lol. It could be Venus since it’s shining bright these days after sunset towards the West. Here it’s in the Southwest, but for you it might be in the Northwest since you’re on the other side of the globe as your profile says @scorpiolovedeep

Shot through a 250mm lens.
