Saturn is generally much dimmer than Sirius, which is the brightest star in the night sky. Saturn's brightness varies, but it typically shines at an apparent magnitude of around +0.5, while Sirius has an apparent magnitude of about -1.46. This means Sirius is roughly 25 times more luminous than Saturn when viewed from Earth. As a result, Sirius appears significantly brighter in the night sky compared to Saturn.

What is the large bright star or planet in the Eastern sky about 300 AM in Iowa?

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.
