Confirmed here from central Berlin despite city straylight, disturbing beamers from a nearby hotel and a bright moon: easily visible naked-eye object with an orange tinge, fuzzy and round without a visible tail, still in the mag +2 range...

Must be a great view from the countryside, w/o all that straylight.
