Tomorrow morning, if the sky is clear, you can see the narrow waning crescent moon next to Mercury, the planet closest to the sun, and the red giant star Antares before sunrise.
Here is the sky as simulated with Stellarium, first with the sun 9° below the horizon and secondly with the sun 6° below the horizon.
The red box shows the field of view with a 100 mm lens on a full-frame camera.
