Hi. Welcome to the forum. It's worthwhile signing up to Heavens Above. That will give you tracks, compass bearings etc for passes of satellites etc. I normally cut and paste a list of the Alt-Az bearings and note the constellation track for each satellite that might be viewable in an evening, print it out and use that as the basis of the observations.
