Thanks Wendilla. The ISS pass at 1920 this evening will be the same magnitude as Jupiter. Well worth seeing.
Iridium Flares are well worth looking for. Predictions can be found on the Heavens Above website.

I went out in the garden as our skies are really clear tonight, but SSW is really low for our field of vision, tomorrow might be better as it's a WSW trajectory - but I'm not optimistic of clear skies tomorrow!

Cloudy, didn't see a thing ! The 1923 sighting should have been spectacular, with the ISS entering the Earth's shadow and being eclipsed.
When this happens the ISS should fade over a few seconds, becoming red in the process. At the same time, astronauts on the ISS would see the Sun rapidly fall below the Earth's horizon accompanied by a red sunset.

Nothing here either. Clouded over for second sighting .
