Unfortunately at the time of my observation I overlooked that it was during the EVA. Had I realised I would have observed more closely: in view of the fact that observations have been made of Suitsat it is not inconceivable that on such a good pass there was at least some possibility of observing the astronauts. I have vague recollections that there may have been some small dots on the side of the complex but this may be wishful thinking- without a photographic record I will never know!
