Lynn, The Evening Star is the frst star you see at night and it is very bright and stays for a long long time and I'm sure it is South/South East. Yes I can see it. Viv

I've been out into my garden, which also faces south, but it is too cloudy here, so I can't see any stars I'm afraid. I used to have a link to another website which was really good at detailing what was visible but I've lost the link. I'll see if I can track it down thru google. Carole

Venus has already set & won't be visible again until about 3am, so we can discount that. Carole

Do you have a pair of binoculars? If it is a planet, the (dot) will turn into a clear circle. Carole
