Thanks for the heads up OP, I too was looking at Orion / Jupiter / Venus / Mars last night, did not see anything out of the ordinary although the
stars were unusually bright in Kansas.
Personally I think a drawing would be helpful so we know where to look. You already told us the general area around Orion's belt, thats just a few
degrees of sky, I'll bust out the dob tonight
Take a picture with a cell phone??
Try that sometime. I'm a photographer and know taking pictures of stars in not a simple thing.
Maybe you've got some beast 10Mpx camera on yours or something but I've never EVER seen a camera phone that would be any use whatsoever for stellar
photography. I vote you draw a
scale drawing and share it.
Thanks!
