I do occasionally see satellites when imaging, but this is the first time that I've seen so many. I started imaging NGC1977 for the first time a couple nights ago and every frame I took had one or more sat traces on it... very unusual for me. Then I saw them moving in the guidescope display...calculated their angular velocity from trace length, deduced they must be geostationary... and the next night's (this) video proves it.

Check the description: I put a link to the original 25MB .avi file so you can download it. I recommend vlc as the player of choice, it's free.
