Abstract

A survey of celestial equator that is observable from Kavalur was made using satellite tracking camera AFU-75, to locate the positions of geostationary satellites that are accessible within the capabilities of camera from the tracking Station. This paper describes the specification of the camera, the method used for the observations, locations and the identification of geostationary satellites
