I found this when checking back through my Observations Logbook

 

Manually tracked with my Skywatcher 254mm Newtonian & ZWO ASI 120MC and captured using Firecapture.

 

One decent frame taken from the resulting AVI sequence and slightly processed with G.I.M.P.

 

After many previous attempts to get the correct exposure levels I managed to obtain a reasonable outcome on this particular pass.

 

A very interesting configuration of the solar panel array.
