A spectacular celestial show this morning

Woke up at 06:30 CET....wow clear sky!! Go to the attic....And YESSSSSS, here's the Moon, Venus right side and below it, Saturn, left side below it...and Regulus right next to it !!

I went out with more equipment (ETX 90 and 40 mm Plössl eyepiece). From there, I saw Mars on the other side of the sky.
No scope, 2 second exposure, 800 ISO: Saturn, Regulus, Moon with Earthlight, Venus!!
