Default Venus and Uranus very close Tuesday morning

Almost missed it this morning. I went out about 5:40am but by then the sky was getting quite bright. Venus was easy to see of course but could not locate Uranus in binoculars. Switched to my TV76 and at 30x was just able to pick out a little pinprick of Uranus. Would never have been able to spot Uranus without having Venus so close as a guide. I also saw Mercury using binoculars near the horizon and on the other side of the sky saw Jupiter near the wide double Zuben Elgenubi in Libra.
