Here is a list of the objects that you might want to look out for in 2023. Rather than logging the rise and set times of the planets every day they have been logged every week. Please note that the rise and set times are for Herstmonceux. Planets will rise at different times at different latitudes in the UK.
The links take you to the astronomy glossary which will give you further information. For ISS passes please go to Heavens Above
Likewise for the Moon and Sun, rise times will be different for different latitudes see Time and Date for rise and set times for different locations.
