8 of these are hidden on the main finder by its quality filter (too low, a barely lit Moon, or a weak crossing). Times are Manila time to a tenth of a second; distances are to the centreline of the strip from central Manila.

Questions about transits in Manila

When is the next ISS transit in Manila?

Do I need to travel to see one from Manila?

Usually a short way. The strip where a transit is visible is only a few to around 20 km wide, so it rarely crosses your own street. The next good one passes 133 km from central Manila, so the strip's edge is 121 km away.

Can I see a transit without a telescope?

The crossing lasts about a second and the station appears tiny, so a telescope or a long lens on a camera is needed to see its shape. Never look at the Sun without a certified ISO 12312-2 solar filter.
