Antares, δ, ν and Graffias in Scorpius were easily seen above the tree line in the SW; the remainder of the constellation was below it.

NOTE:
The sketch shows the Moon, Antares and Saturn forming a triangle. However, in SkySafariPro on the same date and time shows the three of them in a different arrangement - Antares and the Moon forming the base and Saturn creating the shallow peak just above the midpoint. I cannot account for the difference.
