Cool! I've never (knowingly) seen one of those...

The geostatationary satellites (a subclass of geosyncs that stay more or
less above the same spot on the Earth's equator) cluster around the
celestial equator, for what I hope is a reasonably obvious reason, so
looking just south of the equator if you're in the northern hemisphere,
or just north of it if you're in the southern hemisphere, will allow you
to pick one up eventually. I've seen a couple of them while observing
the Trapezium.

Puzzle: Estimate my latitude.
