It's been a quiet period but will be changing soon. On Saturday evening (July 16th) there will be a very bright Iridium flare occurring at 19:06:44. This is around sunset so the sky will be bright and might be tough to spot, but should be visible if the sky is clear. There's no point providing a sky chart as you won't see stars at that time, but if you look to the NNW about 35 degrees above the horizon, you should be able to spot it. Again, the flare will only last a few seconds so you have to be looking at just the right time.
The ISS will be making some bright evening passes in about a week's time. I'll post details nearer the time.
