Thanks for that Kevin. The latest information is that the module has successfully inflated and the solar panels are deployed.

I don't think it will, be easily seen with just the eye, unless you have a nice dark sky, ie away from city lights. I could be wrong, personally I don't like to guess at magnitude of objects. I prefer to observe them, and get data on there magnitude. If the clouds go away, then before I head to toronto on friday morning, I'll hope to target it with the video system. Then I tell just how bright it will be. Otherwise I'll be in Toronto to attend a funeral on friday. So in that case, I'll have to bring my Binoculars along, and computer to plot where it will be.
