Details:
Soon after sunset, if you look west, you'll see a very bright spot. It's our neigbor Venus.
At the top right of venus, you will start to notice a redish spot. This is our other neighbor Mars.
If you grab a pair of binoculars or a small telescope and a star chart, you can see Neptune which is the last planet in our solar system.
On this picture, I have labeled a few objects and indicated their distances relative to the camera. The light from HIP112604 left its star in year 930 around the same time the Vikings created settlements in northern France.
