Details:
When archiving images of the Dragon CRS-8 launch in 2016, I discovered that a lot of frames were actually not yet processed. I applied a new frame selection of images I took of one of the jettisoned solar panel covers of the Dragon in orbit. Here is a movie were you can see the tumbling motion of the panel in orbit and a still image, this is a processing of the best image. The images were taken using a 10 inch Newtonian and Astrolumina ALccd 5L-11 mono CMOS camera while fully manually tracking.
