Around 03:15 currently, with Saturn following half an hour later. Venus will be around 24 degrees elevation at sunrise.

Hi starlight. Is there a reason you edited the question out of your original post?

Even when a question is answered, others may have been wondering the same thing. So the forum then becomes a resource for others looking for information or advice.

LoL! I was wondering what the question was because the post was empty.

The question was about the time Venus rose.

Hi Starlight,as others have said, Venus rises about 4.30, so if you have a look about 5am in east it is shining brightly, with nothing else around as bright, and Saturn is 2nd bright 'dot' below it, after Regulus in Leo.

It's a wonderful early morning object at the moment. I saw it the other morning at around 4:30 and had to look twice as I first thought it was a plane coming into land with it's landing lights on.

Very bright indeed.
