Oh OH! I think I got it, it’s the Hyades. It’s the closest cluster to us and is quite nice to look at. The star Aldebaran is in the top left of the group, but, not associated with it.
Give me more info if you can.
1. It is visible in Louisiana from about the months of November thru January.
2. It rises in the east and moves west during the night, of course. It rises (becomes visible) higher up as the months go by.
3. The “kite” part is approximately the size of a full moon.
4. The tail part is vertical and I think it hangs a bit to the right.
5. Right now it appears to be at about eight o’clock. The moon is too bright and it is hazy.
