For the next two weeks 5 planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury?) will be visible to the naked eye. You won't need a telescope or binoculars to see them. Add a comet for a bonus. I always get up before sunrise at this time of the year, so I am hoping to see them.

Hoping I'll have a clear morning sometime in this window. Certainly no point looking today ...

They will be around for about 2 weeks. Statistically your chances of seeing them are pretty good, IMO.

As I pulled out of my garage this morning to go to work, I saw Venus on my left and Jupiter at 90 degrees from it, just like the map showed. I couldn't see the other 3 planets or the comet. Will try 15-20 minutes earlier tomorrow.

There is nothing but clouds here.

Sorry. Not trying to rub it in, but I saw three planets this morning. Venus, Jupiter, and I think the third one was Saturn. It was Not reddish, so it couldn't have been Mars. I didn't have binoculars so I couldn't see if it had rings. Mercury will be hard to see, that's why I am thinking it may be Saturn.
