Thanks, Kukiniloa! I've never tried that. I admit I was a bit skeptical when I read your post, but did a quick calculation and agree it might be possible, and yes, observing in twilight would definitely help due to lower contrast (when it's darker the increased contrast actually makes it harder to see detail in a bright object). You won't see detail, but I think you could make out a basic shape, i.e., spot the main body and solar panels.
