Hi All,
This Canopus you speak of...S-SE, low in the sky?
I posted recently asking about a brilliant object that seemed just below Scorpius, maybe 20deg up from the horizon in the same area you speak of, maybe near the Pavo Constellation at 9pm Darwin time.
It was difficult for me to be certain because the canopy (pun intended) of the trees were blocking my view. It was not yellow however but bright white and flashing blue and red. I was checking it out with my bino's.
It was suggested that it may have been Antares but I think it seemed much lower than the ecliptic path.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Ben.
