Well last night I went for a drive to the shop & when I got out of the car like always I look to the night sky to check out the stars! Not expecting to see anything due to it being cloudy I seen a very bright object (the brightest I have seen with the naked eye besides the moon). So I rushed home & got my scope out along with my iPhone that has a skywatcher app. When I point the iPhone at the bright object it came up as nothing!
I tried looking at it with my scope but didn't do to well due to light pollution (street lights, house lights & car lights)
When looking through the scope the object seemed to loose it's brightness then it would come back, it also changed colour.
It really blow my mind, I wish I was in a nice dark spot to really get a good look at it.
