I was up that early (taking the puppy out for a nature call) and looked, but I live in the city. I could not make out any constellations to even get oriented enough to know where to look.

I tried watching it... but not only one has to be lucky to see more than 2 or 3 stars here due to luminous pollution... it was completely overcast that day :(
