Actually you can see Mars at the moment, but it will be very very very difficult and uninspiring. Mars is rising about 20 minutes before sunrise (about 4:30) and is only 3.7 arcsec (that's 0.0010277777777777~ of a degree
) wide. By the end of next month Mars will rise at about 3:30 so will be easier to spy.
An interesting challenge will come on the mornings of the 10th, 11th and 12th of December, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury will be only about 1 degree apart.
