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.
