At 1900 hours GMT on 19th February 2007 I was in Eastern England and
looking approximately due South when I observed the (crescent) Moon
with a star or planet in very close proximity.

Is there any way I can discover the name of this object?

I just used Stellarium (stellarium.org) to page back to February (by
pressing the '[' key to skip back 1 week at a time, and then the '-' key
to go back one day

GOOD GRIEF! Modern windows software is junk. I still use
an old DOS program Skyglobe. Two easy key clicks on the keyboard and I am
anywhere in time I wish to go. Now that's software that works! Sorry I had
to mention this. . .


Stellarium is multi platform, versions are available for Windows,
Linux and Mac. It's user interface is a tad eccentric but it
definitely works and show a quite realistic looking sky.
