Aye, lad. This is what NASA are calling amartyr astronomers these
days. God told "Burning" to stop wasting money on any science which
didn't immediately fill his own pockets so it has fallen to we
amartyrs to do all the "dirty work". If Jupiter were any lower I'd
need a stepladder to see it over the hedge. So I'm wearing my wife's
high heels at the telescope and speaking in a very deep voice. I'm
making quite an impact too. (on the lawn) ;-)

He must mean automated sky surveys, and no, something that small and
that far away is going to be near impossible to detect.
