Saw the two togther at about 10° above the horizon in the south at around 17:50 until entry to eclipse at approx 17:54 UTC. It was not fully dark (I only made out Orion's belt a few minutes after the pass) and the elevation really was quite low but I was still somewhat surprised that it wasn't a little brighter. From the previous reports I was expecting something about the brightness of Saturn. On the other hand, I've just looked at a star chart and identified the only star visible in that part of the sky at the time as Sirius which didn't seem all that bright either - though a quite a bit brighter than the combo.
