There's an extremely bright Iridium flare occurring tomorrow evening (Saturday 21st October). It occurs at 18:08:02 so the sky won't be very dark, but if there are no clouds it will be easily visible and still very bright. The flare will occur in the NNE at an elevation of 64 degrees above the horizon in the constellation Cygnus the Swan (so quite high up in the sky). HPP, Orchidland, Ainaloa, Pahoa and Kalapana should all get great views if the weather cooperates.
