Back in 70's I am certain that in a 2" telescope I had, I saw what was
possibly skylab. It was shaped like an offsided house, much larger than
jupiter in the same bino. Am I Wrong! in believing that this object was
this large, or was I looking at something else. If it was skylab, how does
it's size compare to the ISS. Allan Cook
