    Tristan -
    
    When I get a chance next year I will try to observe it.  If I could observe
    an object 500km away which is the size of a washing machine I would be very
    pleased with myself!
    
    There's a nice photo of Bruges in the snow on the esa website taken by this
    sat.

     Interesting to know that someone is trying to observe this satellite.
