the morning moving star

so for several years ive tried to photograph this phenomena, i finally got it. this "star"with no other visible stars at 6:00am moves behind the tree when i look at it. until it reached the point where it couldnt hide. its luminated like an airplane or helicopter, as bright as the street light in the photo above but barely shows up on the picture, possibly due to distance.

There's no star that 'moves', especially for 'several years'.

Satellite?

They look like moving stars. Just a suggestion of course.

Venus?! You need to give better details than "moves behind my tree". How fast does it move? Where in the sky is it related to? Where do you live? Things like that.

all im saying is when i looked at it, holding still, the light moved a little to "hide" behind the tree in front of my window. it seems too close to be a planet, as if it is just inside our atmosphere. im just east of 35w in south minneapolis looking east-south-east.

You must have not read the OP. Notice the quotation marks around the word star?

OP: where was it and why is the photograph lousy?

a reply to: sanitizedinfo

Is this a recent photo?

Is that the moon in the photo as well?

i stated above your last post. the photo was taken with my cell phone, a cheap $40. one. brightened in photoshop to highlight the light since its not visible in the normal shot.

What direction were you looking?

Rough location?

heres a zoom in and equalized image of it. im no expert of light interpretation in images so ill leave that to the passer by of this thread.

again im east of 35w in south minneapolis looking east-south east.

Could it be Venus which is sometimes referred to as "the morning star"?

Venus is quite correct.

Check here (make sure to set your location):

Wait I see that Saturn is near Venus now. It should be visible.

This should clear it all up for you.

And sometimes "the evening star" (depending on where it is in its orbit relative to the Sun when seen from Earth).

The movement you see in a short viewing session is caused primarily by Earth's rotation. You'd have to plot the position night after night to track the movement of Venus.
