  Orbital debris presents a growing risk to space operations, and is becoming a
significant source of contamination of astronomical images. Much of the debris
population is uncatalogued, making the impact more difficult to assess. We
present initial results from the first ten nights of commissioning observations
with the International Liquid Mirror Telescope, in which images were examined
for streaks produced by orbiting objects including satellites, rocket bodies
and other forms of debris. We detected 83 streaks and performed a correlation
analysis to attempt to match these with objects in the public database. 48\% of
these objects were uncorrelated, indicating substantial incompleteness in the
database, even for some relatively-bright objects. We were able to detect
correlated objects to an estimated magnitude of 14.5 and possibly about two
magnitudes greater for the faintest uncorrelated object.
