True story -- the first time that my son (at that time about 25 years old) ever saw the ISS, we were in the backyard in light-polluted Southern Calif. (He has always had amazing eyesight.) He looked up and said, "Wow, it looks like the letter "H!"
I can't see the solar panels even with my binoculars, no matter how I hold them.
My son did a similar thing. I told him about being able to see them with binos and he said that he could see them without. His eyesight is something like 20/15 or 20/12. (Which comes in handy in his Army Artillery Forward Observer job. ;))
