Did ever change color, shape or size? Did it appear to move? Good pics and 5 stars. [/quote] Thanks! It was orange to the naked eye, maybe slightly less than in the photos. Never changed color or shape, and didn't move (except behind the horizon after 30 mins). I've witnessed this every few nights for the last two weeks. [/quote] I think I may have seen it, more than once, but only briefly because there are a ton of trees around where I live so the horizon is obscured. I'm going to make a point of looking for it again! [/quote]

You know all of these threads we keep seeing about the object visible in the western sky?
We finally had a clear night tonight, and I was able to take some pictures. I don't have a telescope, so this was the best I could do:

This object is visible just above the western horizon, right after sunset, but it disappears behind the horizon after only 30 minutes.
It's not Venus. Venus dominates the sky a little later, in an entirely different location, and is white instead of orange.
It's not Mars. Mars doesn't show up until closer to morning.
