Starlink V1.5 Dish Antennas captured in operational orbit
This set of telescope images show different Starlink V1 satellite busses in operational orbit were clearly one or both dish antennas on the 2 sides of the bus are captured. It is the part of the satellite that you see illuminated by the sun in the Digantara space-based image in the prevous reply. The negative set is an intentionally lowered quality to equalize the sharpness of both the ground-based image and the space-based image a bit and then the similarity of detail looks even more accurate.
Please note:
The comparing space-based deployment image shows the wrong surface (zenith-side). Detail on the bus surface can not be compared to that of the ground-based image.
I really think to have maximized the possibilities of the equipment here. (25cm telescope using manually tracking).
