This would be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to capture such a relatively small (a few meters across) device so far away.
It has an angualr size of 0.00000041". Only the burn could be bright enough to be detected by only the largest telescope currently on Earth (E-ELT) or in space (the JWST).
Forget about amateur telescopes.
