Last night (Monday evening, 1 October local time) I saw 8 or 9 flaring geosats with my binoculars, including two to four that were easy to see with my 8x42. At 3:14 UTC, there were two bright ones 45 degrees (3 hours of RA) apart, one in the eclipse-entry area, and the other near the meridian. Of course Mike found some more, fainter ones, with his telescope. We concluded the session pretty early due to interfering clouds.
