I gave it a try on the first post-deploy pass near 15:54 UTC, though I'd probably be located a bit too far to the West, with the sun less than -6° below the horizon at that time. Shuttle was there on time (as was the ISS a few minutes later), Starshine 2 wasn't really, though. Whatever sparkling there might have been near the Shuttle, it was indistinguishable from background stars. Let's see what the next pass might bring. CU!
