The second bright object in the west is Jupiter. Jupiter gets to around -2, Venus is -4.5 magnitude. When they aren't close to each other Jupiter can look very bright!

Download one of the free planetarium software programs, such as Cart du Ciel or Stellarium to help you - look in the permanent links section at the top of the beginners forum to get you started, there are a number of them around.
