No, that’s Jupiter.  It wasn’t until I was in looking at my photos on the screen that I realized there was a star up there too.  So after some digging I found out it was Jupiter.

From Abrahm’s Planetarium Night Sky Notes:

The thin crescent Moon is to the lower right of Jupiter. Look for the pair in the WSW at dusk. Jupiter is shining bright at -2nd magnitude. Neptune, at 8th magnitude, is to the lower left of the Moon, but requires a telescope to be seen.
