Hi Ben,
Just to clarify the circumstances at the time... if it was around 20-degrees above the horizon, that would put it roughly between the horizon and Scorpius, so I guess it was amongst the Milky Way? (Antares is about 40-degress above the horizon at that time of the night).
Was it stationary or did it move? how long was it there for? Any estimate of magnitude? I presume by your other examples it was as bright as the bright planets (approaching mag 1 or 0?).
Cheers,
Stephen
(edit: opps sorry Stu you beat me by a bee's whatsit)
