All passes were low at my location. I did receive 3 images this morning, but poor quality. Iām using an Arrow 5 2m/70m yagi, but without a rotator - so the antenna is fixed directly upwards,which is far from ideal,
I need an antenna rotator! Can anyone suggest a ācheapā az/el rotator solution for my lightweight antenna? Thanks.

You may try to get your hands on a used SARCTRAC.
They are no longer built due to component supply problems.

Was the 18:29 transmission in a B/W mode? I got the same picture just after 18:30 and that was in color.
