    Dunno when I was stuck with somthin I make a discussion called a question to betelgeuse the man who made the site and he always replys giving me a very good answer. Maybe you should try that.

    I will check the Pictures tonight, I have just found them, they ended up in my spam folder?

    Based on all the information and the pictures, I agree "Betelgeuse" is my best guess!

    Yes I think it probably is Betelgeuse too, and it could very easily be mistaken for Mars. Jimijames were you using a scope or watching it naked eye?
  • jimijamesjimijames
    I was using a scope with a 8mm lense

    Betelgeuse is a red giant and does appear red in colour, especially through a telescope, so that's why it would be easy to mistake it for Mars.
