I saw it once but all it looked like was a star or do you use a high powered telescope to see it up close?

[wendilla]

No I don't have a high powered telescope . On a clear night you can see the solar panels without any . More like a planet than a star .Been watching it off and on for about 9 years and def larger than the first time I saw it . But still hooked on having a look on a clear night

Thanks, Wendi......I have the first cloudy sky with some rain for the first time in weeks... :-(

Wow,thanks, I didn’t know that. I wonder if you powerful telescope would you be able to see the astronauts at the windows?

Also, don't forget to look for Mars (not that you can miss it) which is very bright and close to earth just now.
