Large round object with orange light.

I went outside and saw a huge orange crescent shape object in the sky. It was north west just above the hills that have grapes planted on them.

I got my binoculars to see it better and could see that the crescent shape was diminishing. As the light was almost gone, I could see the shape of the object in the dark. It was like a huge ball and three times bigger than a full moon. It faintly glowed.

Then when the crescent light faded the object disappeared.
