Like the others have said, unless you have a fork mounted cassegrain and the right software, the best method is hand guiding. I have read on one of the satellite tracking websites that at 50X magnification you can see plenty of detail.

I can tell you that at 20X (binoculars) you can't see any detail, but I'm yet to repeat that test with a neutral density filter just to dim it a bit to see if the glare is overwhelming the detail.

Have a go and let us know how you get on!
