The next sighting for Meredith is at 7:25 Monday evening for 6 minutes going WNW to SE. Your post got me thinking that it would be interesting to see it again. You can see future sighting opportunities at spotthestation.nasa.gov.

And I remember watching for Skylab when it fell. One of the recent cool celestial events was watching a string of Starlink satellites deploy. Astronomers are complaing that the satellites are interfering with celestial viewing. I guess that's a form of photobombing.
