The Mir debris is interesting. I saw about 10 pieces leading Mir sometime last year. I assume it was trash day or they were cleaning house prior to the lady astronaut arrival. I usually clean house when a new lady is coming over too. The objects get a designation similar to Mir's but different letters. The one's I saw required binoculars to see. Will let others discuss bright satellites since I often use binocs or a telescope for the ones I observe.
