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?

I saw it last night. Just st north of the moon. Must be Jupiter. It's outside of the sun from us and we're seeing the full face. Too bright to be Saturn and I didn't see a ring with binoculars.

@Tastyfrzz You could be right. You can find Jupiter's RA and Dec. here - https://theskylive.com/jupiter-tracker and convert to azimuth and altitude here - http://convertalot.com/celestial_horizon_co-ordinates_calculator.html The azimuth and altitude seems about right for where I am.
