    really big bright light I'm seeing there constantly is that jupiter? ..

    I just re-read your post and just want to mention, Jupiter is visible very bright to the south in the evening moving west as the night progresses setting almost due west just after midnight.
    Venus rises around 4:30 am and is very bright in the SE until sunrise.
