Those are not Geo-satellites. I have imaged this objects thousands of times and never picked up a satellite, but I've had satellites ruin other images. Satellite paths would be parallel and never so close, and leave a much more distinct path.

Many of the streaks that the arrows point to are NOT meteors. They are Geo-satellites that pass the same region hourly, every day. Otherwise, the image is fine.
