Not screamingly interesting to look at.
They do, however, make an interesting image. I have used a 50mm lens pointed up at the celestrial equator and opened for about 15 minutes. The stars all trailed across the image but the geostat's sat to produce a point image. There were 4 or 5 almost equally spaced across the image in a line. If I can find and scan the image I'll post it. It was a long time ago.
