Will try it out tonight if the weather's good, there's supposed to be a flare at around 22:42 at 84% brightness in my area.

Anyway here's the link to the free version if anyone wants to try it out.

Andrew I don't think it is possible to see an Iridium flair at that time , the sun is is too far on the other side of the world and the satalites are to low
I await to see if I am Wrong
Cheers
