Are the Stars Out Tonight?

Friday morning actually, a very dark sky, no new moon yet, and clear so indeed the stars were out. I am not a big astronomer but I know Orion's Belt...that is the three across and three down making the belt and sword. It was three quarters up the eastern sky. And the dippers of course.
It was just a remarkably dark morning and the stars were clear and bright.
A great day for a run.
By the time I head home the sky has lightened and turn pre-dawn gray and the only item left is a bright planet appearing as a star in the east...Venus or Mars I am thinking.
