Has anyone/Can anyone image Cosmos 482?
Not exactly a traditional celestial body. . . but I have been fascinated with the failed 1972 Soviet Venus probe currently in a highly elliptical orbit (perigee 128 miles, apogee 1271 miles). I’ve tried to spot it in the evening sky when it is over my location and near perigee to no luck.

Well respected photo astronomer Ralf Vanderbergh has been able locate and photograph the spacecraft. There below are a couple of examples.
