Hi, Geosync sats could be seen, but since the relative motion of these satellites is zero, it could be somewhat difficult to locate one in a single observation session (unless otherwise you have the exact coordinates). It would be identified as the constellations change their position in the sky during seasons. The best and easiest way is to take the help of software to locate such satellites with fair accuracy. If you happen to have a software which projects position of a satellite on skymap, it would be a lot easier to see a geosync satellite.
