• Could someone please help me identify an astonishingly bright star in the sky a couple of nights ago.

    My location was Western Cambodia (somewhere not far from here) and we noticed and argued extensively about what it might have been in the early evenings of the 17th and 18th. My bet was heavily on Saturn as I was sure I could discern rings when viewed through 10x binoculars but others wondered if it might have been Venus. Any ideas would be hugely appreciated. With an almost invisibly thin moon the night sky was one of the most captivating things I've ever seen.

    Also glimpsed a couple of shooing stars which I guess might have been the Geminids mentioned above?

    Thoroughly inspired!
