Should be near it's zenith now. Slow steady drizzle laced with a little vog.
Next time, whenever that may be.

Too cloudy here to see it unfortunately. Next best two opportunities are March 2nd starting at about 6:16am (rises to an elevation of 44 degrees) and March 3rd starting at 5:25am (rises to 63 degrees).
ETA Feb 29th as well - starts at 6:24am, rises to 43 degrees.

Just to add that Feb 29th opportunity is very close to sunrise, so might be tough.

Just a reminder that given clear skies, the ISS should be visible tomorrow morning (March 2nd) from 6:15am. Details from NASA:
Time: Wed Mar 02 6:15 AM, Visible: 6 min, Max Height: 44°, Appears: 10° above WSW, Disappears: 11° above NNE.
It will be visible again the next morning as well (March 3rd):
Time: Thu Mar 03 5:24 AM, Visible: 5 min, Max Height: 66°, Appears: 25° above SSW, Disappears: 11° above NE.
There's a front passing through the islands, so don't know if the sky will be clear, but let's hope so. It's also visible on Friday morning but will be very low in the sky and hard to spot.
