I took this photo late last night,2 stars are they Castor and polux ?

they were in the same area as Jupiter,would like confirmation from someone with

knowledge of the star's in the sky at this time.

Many  thanks Ken.

No castor and Pollux are further apart and about the same brightness. Also they go to bed early at this time of year (much further west when Jupiter is visible) . Can you be more specific - where were they in relation to Jupiter? Probably something in Libra or maybe off towards Antares.

Hi,thanks for your comments,Jupiter was up to the right of these 2,taken about 10.30pm,I spotted

them showing faintly in another photo taken at the same time,so I zoomed in on these 2. Thanks Ken.

[Mr niall]

Ahhh, probably Alpha Libra then I’d guess sir.

[Mr Spock]

Difficult to say without a point of reference. Can you take another with Jupiter in the frame?

[KAYCE]

I think photo 1637 is the best.

[KAYCE]

Also another object top left must be in Libra.

[Mr Spock]

Yes, looks like α Librae.

[KAYCE]

Gratefull for your reply, Ken.

Here’ a screen shot from Skysafari showing the position of Jupiter last night, and stars nearby. HTH.
