Yes, Venus and Mercury are visible in the morning but I haven't been able yet to see them because of all the buildings around here.
However, I believe I saw LINEAR inside Perseus, a few minutes ago with 20X80 binoculars. It's extremely faint and hard to distinguish from other celestial bodies and at magnitude 7.
BTW, I saw Jupiter and Mercury right next to the Sun during the february 1998 totality from Guadeloupe. That was special. And last saturday, sunspots were observable just with eclipse shades.
