Venus would be north-west at 7pm, rather than north-east? Venus - that's what I first thought, but north-east? Actually Stellarium shows the Sun hardly set in Perth by 7pm - under those conditions one wouldn't spot Venus naked eye, I imagine. (Or do I have it all wrong - oops, I think I do - Stellarium is funny like that - change location but the time doesn't change with it! OK, all my times are 2 hours out, I think - for 8pm read 6pm etc!
