I've enjoyed nake eye astronomy for many years, especially viewing satellite overpasses. The Heavensabove.com website is an excellent resource for planning your viewing opportunities.

Yep, that's the site I mentioned. This ISS is the most visible, but there are usually dozens a night that can be seen most falling between 1.0 and 4.0 in magnitude. Depending in your Bortle Darkness number, you might be able to see all of them. They also track Iridium flares that are pretty cool because they're bright (up to -8.0 magnitude) and, unlike meteors, you know when and where to look.
