Details:
The chassis (or bus) of a first generation (V1.5) #Starlink satellite bus in operational orbit, obtained 2 years ago in excellent conditions. Detail like structural brightness variations on the small surface can be seen. Telescope: 0.25 meter, manually tracked on sight. 2/2 Solar arrays are not visible in this configuration in operational orbit, as intended by the used brightness mitigation method (shark-fin config).
