you can also see Venus before sunrise at the end of month
The asteroid Juno is also near Mercury but will require a telescope to see
Saturn will be easy to see a little higher in the southwestern sky until after midnight.
You need a telescope to track down Pluto in Sagittarius in the south-southeast sky.
