Details:
Earlier Starlink V2 mini pass of a DTC (Direct to Cell) satellite (Starlink 11113) in parking orbit, just recently processed. Showing Open-Book Configuration of the Solar Arrays + that the typical light distribution across the bus is very much the same as what is observed in operational orbit. Slightly illuminated edges on the long axis and a very dark central area, caused by the relfecting surface of the V2 satellites at the Earth-facing side. Images taken using a fully manually tracked 10 inch telescope using 6x tracking magnification on a secondary scope.
