Those who follow Minhag Yerushalayim
for Kiddush L'vana (first op 3 full days after the Molad with no delay)
probably said KL after breaking their Tzom Gedalya fast. The rest of the
Jewish world traditionally waits until after Yom Kippur (no need to break
their fast first). Either way, the last op for KL of Tishrei is Wednesday
night, October 4th - Leil Chag. Although we usually do not say KL on
Friday night or on Yom Tov, if the last opportunity falls on Leil Shabbat
or Chag, we may (should) say KL. (If one lives where it is usually cloudy
and/or rainy at this time of the year, he should not delay KL.)
