YT2095 Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 as some may or may not know, a small but Very expensive toolkit was lost by an astronaut last week, BUT it`s been spotted by an amateur astronomer in Ontario: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20081125/tool_bag_081125/20081125?hub=TopStories and the footage: that must be some kinda setup that guy has!
Flashman Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 He only has a 100mm refractor apparently, stand by, finding the story that mentions his equipment... Ah this is it... http://www.thestar.com/sciencetech/article/543342 Doesn't say what sort of video camera he used though, "professional" style cooled CCD, converted webcam, hacked handycam or what.
ajb Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 I have been told you can see it using binoculars. It should be visible just in front of the ISS. I think you can find details from spaceweather.com.
