Great report, Bob. Clouds are spoiling my early morning views.

I viewed them with my Tak FC100 this morning.

Saturn is now becoming low in the West and is about to disappear from the morning skiers. Nevertheless, it looked impressive, which just shows how much better it is near Opposition.

Jupiter has become more luminous, as it also nears Opposition. I spotted the shadow of one of its moons.

Mars has also become bigger and brighter, but still has a way to go before becoming really speculator.

Venus is fading, although it is still the brightest. It rises in the pink of the predawn skies and will soon be lost to accompany the Sun for a while.
