In theory we do have some more visible passes late in February, however these are very brief shadow exits and it will probably not be really practicable to observe them if they are visible at all by then. I had been checking some ISS passes to try and stimulate some interest for a friend in the Philippines who does some stargazing, and had accidentally not set it back to my home location, so stumbled on the fact that they have USA 193 passes from the 12th February, and a few days later have both morning and evening bright visible passes. The location I used was Baguio in the north, I have not checked any other areas. Not sure if we have any observers there on this list but it looks like it is worth spreading the word if possible. I will certainly be alerting my friend!
