 Bookmark the webpage https://www.heavens-above.com/main.aspx.  You can check on visible passes of ISS, Irridium Flares (while they last) all Satellites etc over whatever location you choose to enter.

Look for magnitude -3 to -8 (-8 being brightest)

Hi BW. I'm not a sky watcher but curiosity has got the better of me. What magnification are you using to get a photo like that? Thank you for sharing. Cheers Pete
