Default Psionic Powers: Awareness

So I have a player with a lot of of the Awareness power from Psionic Powers and tonight a few questions came up about it.

From reading the rules on the power we couldn't agree on exactly how detailed things "seen" with awareness were. I have been picturing the power sort of like radar or some high tech 3D imaging system. You know what there, but its not the same as actually seeing something.

The question came up when a pack of dogs were shadowing the party while they traveled through the forest. Should the player been able to tell that these weren't normal dogs by sensing them with awareness? (They were Cu Sith or Faerie dogs, with green spots and glowing green eyes)

Should the players have been able to tell that they had green spots? Can you make out colors with awareness?

If an assassin took a shot at a player from a rooftop with a crossbow and was detected and examined with Awareness could the player later on identify that assassin in a lineup or if he saw him on the street? Could he make out that the assassin had a crossbow? If the Assassin's **** said Dave on it would awareness pick that up?

Could you read a book with awareness? How about Braille?

Would camouflage work vs. Awareness?
