There's not too much happening. There are some ISS passes coming up in a few days but all in the morning - there were some a few days ago in the evening but I didn't post anything as the weather was so poor. As for Iridium flares, there's one particularly spectacular flare coming up in a few days (about 250 times brighter than Venus at its brightest) but again in the early morning. Unfortunately, Iridium flares will shortly become a thing of the past as the old fleet of satellites is replaced with new ones.
The Lyrid meteor shower peaks this weekend although it's not one of the better displays. Expect around 10-20 meteors per hour at peak.
