I think iv seen this in the last few nights,basically it just looks like a star but its the brightest star in the sky and it does change colour maybe redish/orangey now and again but i havent thought it was wierd as i just thought it was the north star. I just thought it could be the atmosphere then again why arent all the stars like this?

I just went outside to see if it was there seeing as its 4:19am the next day, it is there, still redish orangish white...... flickering due to atmospheric disturbance, but not any blushish colors....
It is about 15-20 degrees off the horizon....
Also it doesnt seem to be as bright as last night, although it still is the brightest light in the sky.
Any ideas?
