Now I know which are some of the brightest geo sats, PamAmSat 1R, gallaxy 11 
and Nimiq 1. They were so bright and easy to see. I would say they were all 
at least mag +9 when I first saw them, so no problem seeing them. TDRS 1 was 
faint but nice to spot. I can know whick geo sats to show people that they 
can easily see.
There still is XM 1 and XM 2 to find, should be bright to, since they are 
the same type of satellites as the other 3 bright ones I saw.

Kevin
