Should be, relatively below Mars.

there's an iphone app that was excellent for identifying stuff, it was free at first but they started charging i think, gives loads of information about major stars and planets too, it's called sky safari.

Had a lovely clear crisp evening last night here in Nottingham. Very nice view of Jupiter and Venus in the early evening and Saturn and Mars later on.
