    I saw the following geo sats in my 70 mm refractor the last two days. All 
    were between mag 9.5 to 10 I estimate, using the stars in the area
    I look at them after they left the earth's shadow.
    Observed near 0 h 23 m R.A -06 deg 38 m Dec
    Observed at site #1
    
    XM1 and GE2 are seen together in the same feild of view , like Nimiq 1 and 
    Galaxy 11
    
    23313 SOLIDARIDAD 2
    21222 ANIK E2
    26608 PAS 1R

    plus 5 which are harder to id, as I did get a good time.
    
    Some where brighter then other thus very easy to see.
