The moon was full over Norwich last night, along with Jupiter and I believe to be Saturn further to the left of jupiter, must try and scope them tonight but am I right? |

That was Jupiter near the Moon but Saturn rises after the Sun at the moment. 
This is from Fourmilab.com. I use it all the time!  |

[quote=Graeme1858;816002]That was Jupiter near the Moon but Saturn rises after the Sun at the moment. QUOTE] Seeing the sun is in the sky in the pic no planets can be seen in the sky 
It would be better to say that Saturn SETS after the sun in the west at dusk  |

That picture show's the relative positions of the Sun Moon and planets as I'm sure you know because I've seen your excellent work on here. It shows the positions a couple of days after the date and time referred to in original post. The sun has not yet risen, but I suppose that's not shown in the picture. Jupiter, the brown one is close to the Moon and visible but Saturn, the yellow one, is not. Quote: |

| The other bright point of light you saw eunatural I would guess was Aldebaran, a massive orange giant star, the eye of Taurus the Bull Quote: |

I'm not the worlds best at explaining myself sometimes, as I'm sure will become apparent in my posts!   | | |
