Hello, I am interested in observing geostationary satellites, with the ultimate goal of bouncing laser light off them for transcontinental light wave communications. This is my first post, although I've been on the list for quite sometime. Most of the discussion is NOT regarding these satellites however. Can someone tell me if there are any geostationary satellites that are observable naked eye, or near naked eye? I would prefer a satellite located over the Central US, because it would give a favorable reflection between Maine and California (assuming they had a reflecting surface facing the Earth). Suggestions regarding WHICH satellites might be easily located and WHICH satellites might provide best reflections from ground based light sources would be appreciated. I cannot use retroreflector sats, they aren't geosyncronous and I cannot 'chase them across the sky' with my laser aiming hardware. Further, they return the beam to the source, and I want the beam to return on the other side of the continent. Thanks- Art
