I finally saw them!
Beautiful dark blue sky as I left home for the train station. Venus, Mars, Jupiter in a straight line. Venus was over 30 degrees up!
Could see a star beside brilliant Venus: Porrima. And a faint one between red Mars and bright Jupiter: Zavijava. Then beyond Jupiter a bright star: Regulus. All in a perfect line.
Below, a bright star: Spica. Flickering.
Big Dipper up high. Ruddy Arcturus down and right. Also flickering.
I block later I spotted a faint satellite moving eastbound. Dimmer than Zavijava.
