Right, let's try again.
Friday evening, April 7th at 19:58:28 there will be another extremely bright Iridium flare (mag -8.3) lasting for a few seconds. Assuming clear skies, it will be easily visible from HPP, Pahoa and Kalapana. The location is easy. The direction is SE at an elevation of 49 degrees above the horizon. This places it just a few degrees below the moon. Although it'll be close to the moon, it'll be so bright it should be simple to spot.
