If you're camping out, or even if you're home and have to set the alarm, this will be worth seeing. The viewing conditions should be good.
Half a degree of separation is really close. If conditions are excellent Mars (near the horizon) and Mercury should also be visible.

MORNING PLANETS: Set your alarm for before dawn on Wednesday morning May 11th. Jupiter and Venus will be in conjunction, shining through the eastern twilight only half a degree apart. It's a spectacular way to begin the day. Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and more information.
