The Horizonts 2 geo sat, launched on Dec 21, has reached geo orbit. Its been parked, at a orbital slot in which they will test its systems out. After which it will move, to it's operational orbital slot, and handed over to the customer. I have aimed my scope at it, and its oh see to see on the tv. Nice to see another bright geo sat, in orbit. Spacetrack is calling it Object D ( 32390 ) Not bad to me, launched on Dec 21, and I observed it on Jan 2, less the 2 weeks later.
