Default Saturn?

Hiya,
At around 7.15am this morning I went out into the garden and looked up at
the moon and saw a small object to the left of it.
Could this be the planet Saturn ,as they were the only two objects visible
at this time ?
Thanks in advance - Dave B

It probably was Saturn which was 4 degrees (about 8 moon widths) away from
the moon this morning.

I saw this as well at 7.30am and rolling back time with Starry Night
shows it to indeed be Saturn, at about 8pm relative the moon, if clock
hands are the best way of describing relative positions !
