Here's another article:

This article includes the Spacewatch image (in the right hand column)
showing the two pieces. You can go directly to the image here:

The caption reads:

   In this subtracted image in which moving objects are revealed by pairs of
   images, one dark and one bright, taken by Jim Scotti with the Spacewatch
   1.8-meter telescope on Kitt Peak on Aug. 16, there are two parallel trails
   near one of the predicted positions of the CONTOUR spacecraft. These
   trails were discovered and measured by Jeff Larsen.
