    This is just another small correction.  I have 
    also seen (with small binoculars and in some
    cases without magnification) the following 
    other ones in that position:
    
    24936, 97-050A, GE 3 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
    25954, 99-060A, GE 4 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
    28446, 04-041A, AMC 15 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
    23192, 94-047A, DirecTV 2 (DBS 2) *OR*
     25937, 99-056A, DirecTV 1R (both Boeing 601)
    
    and possibly GE 1 (Lockheed Martin AS or A 2100)
    
    By the way, I think that Thuraya 1 was stationed
    on the other side of the world.  I've never seen
    that one.
