Geo-stationary satellite would require 2700", so with my error taken into consideration, I could easily be out by the required 44" .


All the best.
Lester,

Your image is centred at 15:59:10.628 +05:30:00.00 and is 01:06:56.562 x 00:44:32.488

If you know exactly where and a what time the image was taken you can determine what satellite it would be.
