Details:
The image shows the ISS Fabric Shield (#42434, 1998-067LF), a shield against micrometeoroids that was supposed to go on one of the ISS outside ports but was accidentally released into space during the ISS EVA of 30 March 2017.
It was 1 minute in front of the ISS when I made this image (3 April 2017, 20:11 UT, 22:11 local time). Image with a Canon EOS 60D + Samyang 1.4/85 mm lens, 1 second at ISO 2500. The two bright stars are kappa and iota Uma.
The object is faint. It will probably re-enter in late summer of 2017.
