I have seen GPS satellites with a Meade LX200 10inch and Ron Dantowitz's =
C-Sat software. Magnitude around 10 or so at around 60 degrees =
elevation.

Clear skies,

    Has anyone seen a GPS satellite?  If so what type of telescope was =
used?  What elevation angle?  The lower the elevation angle, the =
brighter the reflection but the worse the refraction problems.  What is =
the ideal elevation angle?
