If you have an iPad, just download the "Sky Guide" app. It is really cool ... it shows the night sky with all major stars, planets and visible manmade objects identified. You can even see the names of specific satellites and look them up on the internet to see their purpose and ownership. There are also shaded outlines of mythical creatures superimposed on the constellations. I'm not sure, but I think this app was free. There are several such apps available; this is simply the one that I like. Let us know what you find ... my guess is that you are probably seeing the planet Venus.
