Using Des Moines at 3 AM today as the starting point, you have the magnificent star Sirius to the S-SE, the brightest star in the sky (not counting the sun or course) at magnitude -1.46. It is at an altitude of about 26 degrees above your horizon. You may be able to see Saturn to the East, at an elevation of about 9 degrees, and above it and a little to the right, Mars at an elevation of 59 degrees. Sirius is breathtaking-- almost scary it's so bright.
