I say more or less still as some of them have somewhat inclined orbits so they wander back and forward in Dec over an orbit.

Which is exactly what I am getting. I am even seeing a couple that appear in 2 images, with the streak cutting off near the middle of the frame a starting near that point in the next frame.
I am guessing that as geostationary satellites orbit at about 35,800km above sea level above the equator, then at 38deg South, we would see them north of the celestial equator?
