In the process of calibrating the GT-SORT pointing, Ryan Coder has captured an image of GT-SORT's first space object - a SL-16 Rocket Body (no. 242984). Such rocket bodies are quite bright and often visible without a telescope, however the fact that Ryan was able to acquire an image of this fast-moving object certainly means his calibration efforts are bearing fruit!
