To all the satellite watchers out there - this is specifically for Newcastle - I assume many other areas in oz will be similar though.

Hubble is making decent-hour flyovers this week. Average time 1900hr EST. Tonights was cool, it did an Iridium like flare at about altitude 40deg, probably to magnitude -1 or so.....

Very good, thanks for that.
Norm, go to http://www.heavens-above.com , register, log in your co-ordinates, then you can printout ephemeris' for Hubble, Iridium flares, Genesis flyovers etc etc.

What jjjnettie said is the best way to find out - otherwise - these times are for Newcastle this week. I'm unsure what difference being in Sydney will make :shrug:
