    Canon EOS 450D + EF 100/2.8 Macro USM or Carl Zeiss Sonnar MC 2.8/180,
    1600 ISO  + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.

    A rich haul of geostationay objects (plus one HEO) from the previous evening 
    (LEO's were reported earlier). Classifieds in the sample are USA 202 (Mentor 4), 
    PAN and Milstar 5.
    
    This is the first time I imaged PAN, using the recently acquired Carl Zeiss 
    Sonnar MC 2.8/180. It shows up unmistakenly. In the same image(s) are also 
    visible Paksat 1 (close to PAN), Hellas-sat 2 and Eutelsats W4 and W7 (bright!), 
    and a short faint trail of the Breeze M deb tank 09-050C. This all in an image 
    measuring only a few square degrees!
    
    I have taken the brighter more eastward object to be Paksat 1, and the fainter 
    more westward object to be PAN.
    
    USA 202 and the two Galaxies as well as Inmarsat 4-F2 were captured with the 
    2.5/50mm lens, not the Zeiss. See my previous report considering the flashing of 
    Galaxy 8.
    
    Inmarsat 4-F2 shows up well in several images.
