Jupiter and Mars Conjunction on Sunday Morning

This seems to be a pretty spectactular meeting of these two planets. You will need to be outside at 4:30am looking east at around 30 degrees altitude. They will be separated by about 0.2 degrees and may easily be observed in a telescope field of view. Worth getting up for imho. For the planetary imaging guys, maybe it will still be dark enough then to grab a video file, worth a try.

This is the beginning of the 2018 planetary season, as they are finally getting into position for us to appreciate them again.
