I did. I posted the picture I took of it on the same page as I wrote the article. I could see Jupiter and Mercury with the naked eye, but needed binoculars to see Mars. There was a very small window to be able to see them - from the time they rose just slightly above the horizon until morning's glow made it too bright to see. It will still be a neat view over the next few mornings if you wish to try again!
