Two things, either next time (or even his time if you have an opportunity):
1) Film (video) the pole, while another person uses a flashlight for
illumination on the pole.
2) Enhance the video or picture to show the pole; sometimes there is enough
digital
data to outline pole components if the 'black' level (brightness) is increased.
I use freeware like ImageJ to do this on still pictures:

Good job on sighting the arc at night too. I've had four different occasions
where
night observation paid off in this manner too.

Last night I tried my digital camera and binoculars. I could see the
arc's with binoculars! Looks like ground and neutral wires are to close
to other hardware. The digital camera captured one arc but was so dark
could not see the pole. Anyone ever use a night vision camera like used
for hunting etc for this?
