Hi, I live in Whyalla, South Australia, about 6 months ago I bought a CELESTON 10” Dob using SKY SAFARI PRO 7 running the STARSENSE EXPLORER app to guide me around. I’ve been going out in my backyard & spending many enjoyable hours star hopping around the night sky, last night just before midnight (7th Nov. 2024) I spotted a stationary flashing light, no telescope at this stage. It flashed every 10 – 12 seconds, I viewed it through my scope with a 35mm TELE VUE PANOPTIC eyepiece, and seeing it wasn’t moving I swapped to my 9mm Explore Scientific 100° eyepiece which enabled me to see the faint dot that the flash was coming from. I watched it until about 1am (8th Nov. 2024) until I left it flashing away & went to bed.
My story is similar to Vanessa’s back in 2007.

It was close to Neptune, screenshot taken at 12:29am of SkySafari app from my phone.
Did anybody else see this or has an answer?
Cheers
