Bright Object in Eastern Sky
A really bright object appears low in the eastern sky about 20:00 GMT visible from about 52 deg. North and a few minutes East. I think it might be a planet, possibly Saturn? Can anyone confirm that?

It is a planet, but I don't know which. Seen through binoculars (mine are 10 X 50), it appears clearly as a bright disc, but possibly a bit too large for Saturn, by distance.
The latitude and Easterly direction is about right for where I am, in SW England, though I have noticed it higher, later at night, if the same body.
