Looking eastward, this is tonight's sky at about 7.33pm. Two bright dots in the sky, unmistakably bright Jupiter at the top and a brighter Venus at the bottom.
I couldn't see it with my less-than-perfect eyesight but when I looked at the image in my mobile phone's camera, there is a small pinprick of light roughly halfway between the two bright planets. That is Saturn, and the three planets are more or less lined up in a straight line.
(Note: This image is far sharper than the one I posted to facebook yesterday. That was taken during an evening walk in the neighbourhood and there was a lot of camera shake that prevented me from getting a sharper image. This evening was better as I could brace myself against my gate.)
