There's the odd decent pass of the ISS late this month, but in the meantime, there's an extremely bright Iridium flare predicted for Saturday 18th March at 19:47:23 (for Kaloli Point). It'll be at an elevation of around 46 degrees above the horizon in the SSE (Orion's belt will be pointing close to where it occurs to help find it). It's predicted to be magnitude 8.1 for the lower HPP area which is incredibly bright - if you're looking in the right direction at the time and the sky is clear, it'll be hard to miss even though it'll only last for a few seconds.
Details nearer the time.
