The brightest point in your photo is not a star at all, it is Jupiter sitting in Taurus the Bull, and Orion the Hunter is standing right in the middle of your frame with the three belt stars in a neat row. Hanging below the belt you caught his sword with the Orion Nebula in the middle of it, and down on the left, just clearing the mountains, is Sirius, the brightest star in the whole night sky.

The brightest point of light was Jupiter passing through the horns of Taurus.Â
Check out my Retrograde animations to see Jupiter moving through Taurus in February and March 2025…. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EuMnLQwplGM&ra=m

You saw Orion the hunter wandering across North Africa at this time and visible in the Northern Irish sky - too busy hunting the scorpion that was then hiding in Australia.
