Seem to remember, a few years ago, an announcement was published that Venus and another (?) would be close together. in that area of the sky. Thanks for your reply.

your more than welcome Pablo

if the sky is clear enough you should be able to see Venus very close to the Pleiades cluster

Hi Pablo!
You could use Stellarium to see where Venus is at the time you observed to bright light.

I hope it is Venus, and not like my idiot neighbors with a Playground Spotlight mis-aimed and mis-used.

This is NOT Venus...

I thought you had that light removed? How are you’re sniper skills?😂

The corney virus hit and Elisa can't enforce the ordinance currently.
She wrote the management company. But nothing has happened yet.

My sniper skills are still deadly enough. I hesitate because there are homes about 300 meters beyond the light.
But I'd be more apt to take some tools over and permanently adjust it for them.
