Wish I could post some better caps, but there's not a great view now that the sun has set.
EDIT: There we go.

If I may offer a description of what's going on, the translation around the worksite for NOBL 8 continues with repeated commands between the spacewalkers and RMS operator (Megan McArthur) for positioning.
It sounds now like they are getting to work with the PGT at the worksite.

Starting to peel back the insulation. "This one's gonna be more interesting than five!"
Lost one piece of blanket, floating towards the cabin.
And Ku is back.

I don't know, I'm just going by what I heard. I heard them mention PGT and they were counting turns and talking about torque. More of an educated guess on my part. I have been known to make mistakes.

There was a wire tie-down repair to the MLI from an earlier service mission and it was wrapped around a J-bolt which John Grunsfeld needed to release in order remove the wire.
The NOBL panels have an adhesive layer on the back, and the roller is to ensure the panel sticks to the HST all over without any gaps.

This blanket is shattering as they remove it. It's hard to get a good cap of the debris floating away, but there's a lot of it.
