Beautiful. Thank you!

Since you are equipped...could you please check, record and post one of those strobing red-blue-green-yellow stars? I would very much appreciate it. I would really like to know what they are and what they look like up close.
 Quoting: RedRoad


I was seeing these almost every night in central Texas,
back in late Nov.
They aren't stars. I haven't noticed or looked for them
in a few months. There were two I could see simultaneously.
I have a Celestron CPC925 XLT, but didn't scope the objects.
I could tell from looking through bino's they aren't stars,
or I never seen stars with flashing lights like that.
Next few weeks I'll be out more with the scope, it's warming up now. If I see em, I'll image one with an Atik Titan CCD
and see what I get, and post it. No stacking I am guessing due to the flashing lights but with 15 frames a sec, maybe
catch a good frame. They are bizarre, maybe another sky watcher knows what these are?
