As near as I can figure out: "If you continue to send us reruns of "Sex and
the City" we will be forced to destroy your planet."

Well, they are definitely Martians or something.  Any of you Von Daniken
fans want to guess what they are trying to say?

Subject: [AZ-Observing] help! geosynchronous satellites ?

Hi, hopefully someone can help identify these, I got my film back today and
on the 4x5 fish-eye trails I spotted
20 plus stationary " stars"  they are all in the same approximate
declination of M42, some are brighter than others.
The same spots are on a star trail shot to the south on Friday night. They
are not aircraft because of the random spacing
and they are not in a line. I am guessing geosynchronous satellites but I
have never seen this on any star trail shots
I have done. Here is a link to the full shot with the 24mmm Nikkor and a
close-up section showing the spots
I have to send Tony Hallas the 4x5 transparancies  to scan so I won't have
them back for awhile. Any ideas?
