For Novacastrians and those who reside in Newcastle.....
From Heavens-Above.com

There will be a mag -8 Iridium flare (Iridium-7) at 6:16pm tonight.....

flare centre is at 32.906S 151.754E
flare will be at azimuth 21 degrees (NNE)

Not sure what light will be light, not really dark, but hey .... -8 mag, I think you will see it! May even see it through really light cloud..... May need your sunnies... hehe :scared2: :scared2:

Enjoy.....
