Well-known local photographer Luc Perrot published a photo this week of Mauritius seen from Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion Island. He explained that winter brings clear night skies, which make this sort of photo possible.

As some people seemed to think it wasn't possible to see Mauritius from Reunion, Mauritian photographer Burty Makoona sent the photo below, which Perrot annotated.

November 2020 update: some more photos of Reunion seen from Mauritius, apparently the particularly dry weather we're experiencing at the moment makes it easier for the two islands to see each other. They were all taken on Saturday 21st November 2020:
