A close-up view of the Skylab space station cluster photographed against a black sky background from the Skylab 3 command module during the "fly around" inspection prior to docking. Note the one solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) which was successfully deployed during EVA on the first manned Skylab mission. The primary docking part at the forward end of the Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA) is visible below the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM).
