Kevin Fetter video-recorded the 8th magnitude backpack-sized bag gliding over his backyard observatory in Brockville, Ontario.

I can't get over that a toolbag at c. 230 miles can be a magnitude 8 object in the sky!

Its crazy alright.
Poor girl was very cut up over it,
but hey as F.Gump says **** happens and
it makes it all the more real how difficult their job is.
As a side note.
This got me thinkin about a conversation Anto and I were having a whil back about
imaging a spacewalker.

I noticed today on Heavens Above -> www.heavens-above.com - that there are still pass times for the Shuttle toolbag lost 3 months ago!

Seanie.
