re: You must have seen (r-l) Moon, Mars, Aldebaran, and Betelgeuse
all in a line tonight. Tried to get a picture of it, but the formation was too wide for the field of view. Moon was slightly "below" the line. Mars, Aldebaran, and Betelgeuse were all approximately the same color and same brightness to my tired old eyes. (moon was somewhat brighter, ha!)
Quite a sight.
