There are great home movies and nasa videos of them. In fact sometimes they have to prepare to evacuate the space station if a piece of debris even gets too close. They’ll even move the ISS to avoid things. That’s why it has to be refueled.
But there is a great documentary about fixing Hubble where they shoot home movies of the Hubble as just a bright dot in the sky and it gets closer every orbit until they catch it with the arm.
And by the way, I can see satellites passing overhead all the time at my parents place in the western Rockies. It’s very very dark there at night. You can just lay out and watch them. They’re faster then airplanes by a LOT but slower than shooting stars by a LOT and they’re right there where every orbital calculation says they should be right on time.
There are even pictures of the ISS and the shuttle docked taken through an amateur telescope.
There are plenty of them
