Default Venus and Uranus very close Tuesday morning

Venus and Uranus will be very close to each other on Tuesday morning.
Looks like the separation will be less than 20'. HNSky says Venus will be
mag -4.1 and Uranus mag 5.9. Quite a difference in brightness!

For once the skies are supposed to be clear here when something cool is
happening, and better yet, I don't have to go to work. So I'm planning to
get up and try to see this with both my binos and refractor. Venus'll be
easy, it's a tossup given my ridiculously light polluted skies, but the
proximity should help.
