20 one minute exposures shot at 5 minute intervals this morning (7 September) between 0648-0823 UTC.
Distance from Earth at that time was about 0.0048 AU.
North is up, east to the left. FOV is about 18' x 26'. Image scale 2.163".

It's not that bright so it's a bit tough to see. It moves from upper left to lower right.
