I can assure you, this was quite stationary & shining very brightly.
It was taken freehand though. (I get the shakes something cronic!)
I've since bought a tripod.
Adam said the position in the sky meant it was Venus.
(He also said it looked like a UFO, because of the green ring around it!)
Once I get my telescope I'll be able to make sure I get it right.
