According to the NASA SpaceWeather.com article “ISS Toolbag Update,” a Toolbag Sighting Party was held on January 12, 2009 in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Eddie Irizarry (a member of the Astronomical Society of the Caribbean) stated, "Using just a pair of 7x50 binoculars, Joxelle Velazquez was the first to spot the tumbling object passing 1 [degree] below the Pleiades star cluster. It was about as bright as a 6th magnitude star." Irizarry commented, "The Toolbag party was a success!"
