[AZ-Observing] Venus and Saturn in morning sky

Taking advantage of the unusually clear weather we have been having in the 
Phoenix area, I got a beautiful view of Saturn and Venus in the predawn sky at 
4:00 this morning (Tuesday).  Saturn will be 2 degrees to the upper left of 
Venus for the next couple of mornings, and will remain fairly close above Venus 
though September.  Sunrise is about 6:00 a.m., so the best time to look is 
between 4 and 5 a.m.
 
On the morning of September 10, the crescent moon joins the pair, and lower in 
the east, Regulus will be only 1/3 degree to the upper right of Mercury.
