I also looked here and got the times which does seem to match up the dawn time in my area. Scroll down the page to find civilian times & astronomical times for your area- & it also explains waround 23:00hat each means.
Ron would know, but he's having a big day out up north today grrrr.

My main question here is can I start viewing them earlier, say 2am or are most visible just before dawn.
Suzy,You can start observing any time from 23:00 onwards tonight till Dawn tomorrow morning and the same again tomorrow night.
Cheers
