Eye, Mark I model!

It's easy to spot, It's the brightest and fastest thing in the sky. When they are separated they dim somewhat-probably by half? But, you can pick them out from the background quickly!

I do have a telescope, a simple 600 power job that I have been able to see the phases of Venus with and other stuff, when I know where to look!

The Shuttle/ISS move way too fast to keep the telescope on them.

I do most of my quick viewing with a pair of regular binoculars, unless I have the time to set it up in the backyard.
