This is more of a reference for me. These charts (except the last one which is a compilation) come from
Heavens Above -- you'll need to enter your coordinates to have their data associated to your location. To use the maps, you hold them up above your head and orient it accordingly. It's useful to have a smart phone with a compass, to identify 0° / 360°.
Between 9:36 pm and 11:19 pm tonight, there will be at least five different objects that will be visible above Portland Oregon. From very bright (Irridium) to faint (X37-B), one could just sit outside and enjoy the night besides a fire pit.
