Hi John & list, I also have my problems with GEO sats. ;-) http://www.sebastian-stabroth.de/astro/gso.jpg This image above was recorded on 2001-07-23 from 21:00 to 21:30 UTC. The bright star in the upper left is Atair in Aquila. It shows at least 3 satellite tracks and on the lower right corner a tumbling payload or rocket body (?) but also no signs of GEO sats. Well, I'm not sure, but I think what looks like GEO sats in this photo are in real scratches on the film. Any ideas? You can compare this photo with another one I took on the same film (http://www.sebastian-stabroth.de/astro/flare.jpg). It shows an Iridium flare with -7mag on the same day and was taken from 22:50-22:57 UTC. My location at that time was 51.905 deg N, 11.068 E.
