Hey there people,
Names will and im new to ice in space.
Quick question tonite looking up at the moon to the top right about 3deg there is a line of what looks to be five stars first three are small, fourth is rather larger than the rest and the 5th is small again.
I know that is probaly the most vague description but im wondering what constellation, or planet could this larger 4th object be.

Thanks for taking the time to read this
cheers

I want sure about the stars you where talking about b, but I figured you where talking about Jupiter, I didn't realise you where using a scope:rolleyes:
Those stars are the moons of Jupiter :thumbsup:

Jupiter is in Pisces...that was probably the stars you were looking at, along with Jupiter.

Not far away from Jupiter...about 2 or so degrees above it and slightly to the right as you look at Jupiter, is Uranus. But you'll need your scope to see it, unless you have very good eyes and a dark site to observe from.
