I saw two of the planets clearly right about the crack of dawn. Probably Jupiter and Venus, but it could be Venus and Mars.

I didn't realize they're not exactly aligned ... since I have used a star viewing app (SkyView Free) & can normally find all planets through Saturn by following the same general alignment line (even if it's "through the ground")
