There's a moment in the story I'm working on where the character is sad that the light pollution in his area makes it difficult to see the stars clearly, or the International Space Station when it is in low orbit. I want to follow up the scene with a comment about seeing Skylab and Mir, but I want to know if anyone has any clear memories of seeing those two stations in their time. I'm not talking about news, or pictures in magazines, but either seeing them in low orbit or telescope.
I don't remember ever seeing Mir in low orbit, and I obviously wasn't around for Skylab, so I'd be happy to hear anyone's experiences.
