Jupiter/Mars/Mercury conjunction

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has tried to see these 3 planets just before sunrise, they are passing very near eash other at the moment, see
www.aaa.org/aaawhatsup.htm

I tried this morning but was unable to get them, anyone else have a go ?

Yip.
I tried this morning also....
But I couldn't get them either.

I'm gonna stake out a spot tomorow morning (weather permitting)
on a fly-over bridge near my house that has a clear high view
to the east/ south/east.

From my calculations the 3 objects should be just above my horizon
at 7:45.
It's very bright even at that time so it will be tricky.
Tomorow they will be the closest at just 1° seperation.

It may also be of interest...
The Moon & Saturn will be quite close high in the South West
around 6 / 7 am

Tried this morning, but, of course, as you all know, it was misty out there. Shame.

I tried this morning also.
When I say 'Tried' I mean:
Looked out the window at 6AM, cursed the rain then
fell back into bed.

Looks like it's gonna be bad tomorrow also.
Bah.

I got 'em but it was very bright, at least I got a shot, and I could only see Jupiter & Mercury, Mars was drowned out at 7.45am

Keith..
