Hi
I was recently looking at a big satellite dish and wondered if anyone had imaged a geostationary satellite? :shrug:

Yep did so in the old days of film.

Easy. Just point your DSLR at Orion's belt with a wide field lens and open up for 5-10 min. Stars will trail and sats appear as a point.
My image has several equally spaced across the field.

There is some stuff on youtube, where they used a telescope to track the ISS/Shuttle. Similar thing?
