Details:
This recording shows nicely that it is not always the solar panels that cause the ISS to be one of the brightest objects in the sky. During this pass on March 30, the solar panels were only very softly illuminated while most of the light came from reflection by the big Kibo module (the very bright elongated spot just above the radiators) the Columbus module and the radiators itself.
Recorded using a fully manually tracked 10 inch telescope.
