Hi Kristen. And welcome to the board! You most definitely saw Venus, as it's at it's brightest right now in the East/South East sky early in the morning. It shouldn't have been "twinkling" though, as only points of light (like stars) suffer from atmospheric conditions that cause this. Could it be you were viewing through tree branches or some such thing??? Wally
