What the heck is this star I& #39;m tracking? @BobMcGwier_N4HY @uaptn I superimposed two different AR app views of the sky with the boxed item. Nothing of sufficient magnitude should be that visible in that area. Two apps should be confirming, but I don& #39;t trust it.
Object is blurred because of phone motion. It& #39;s a super bright (bright as Venus which I clearly see to the left) but I can& #39;t identify this thing. I don& #39;t think it& #39;s abnormal, just me unable to get the apps to play along. Should be here-ish.
Here& #39;s the magnitude problem. It& #39;s literally the only bright enough object on screen to see here above the house across the street.
So I can& #39;t see Orion or Cassiopeia. I just see this one. By the charts nothing but maybe Capella is bright enough, but I see it and Venus and they& #39;re where the app says they should be - so what the hell am I doing wrong here?
It being a fixed object is ruled out too, it& #39;s moving with the other stars. It& #39;s gone behind the trees now. Here I& #39;m pointing just left of it with a lensatic compass app.
The actual angle to it is 329 degrees. I dunno what that 125 SE nonsense is coming from. I guess phone orientation. Verified with the stock compass app with vertical phone orientation.
