There is not a lot happening in the night sky this month.
Mars will appear in the evening sky above the moon on February 18th.
Low in the pre-dawn eastern sky, you can see Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury at the end of the month. To view this setup you'll need an unobstructed ocean-like view of the horizon.
The Vesta asteroid will be visible in the tail of Leo and be seen with binoculars.
