Mercury!
Early risers can catch our smallest planet in the south eastern sky an hour before Sunrise. It's very low!
The very faint star below it is called Acrab, a double star 530 light years away.

Last night I decided to collect more data on old faithful M45, The Pleiades.
Sadly, cloud/rain returned by midnight so prematurely I shut my Dwarf3 down. Thought everything was lost but, connected to a laptop, it was still there!
