Re: Geostationary satellite flares at different latitudes

Tried to observe geosats from 22:30 to 00:00 UT March 7-8 at E 35.0181, N 48.5265
using 114/900 telescope.
Looked into CalSky's "Optimal coordinates to look for geostationary satellites
at this time (Penumbra eclipse ends)". Nothing found. Just stars <9.5mag.,
no even hint of geosat. FOV=1.5 deg, sometimes checking surrounding 2-3 deg.
So the mid-season of geosats flares is gone for my latitude?

Sincerely,
Vlad
