    Geo-synchronous orbit (GEO) has been highly valued because of the increase of satellite launch activities and the limit of the orbital slots. In order to protect space activities in our exclusive orbit space, it is necessary to carry out the dy-namic monitoring of Geo-synchronous orbit. Shanghai Astronomical Observatory developed an equipment with 100-square-degree field of view, called “optical prototype of Geo-synchronous orbit dynamic monitoring system”. The prototype was set up in Gaomeigu observation site in Lijiang. Observation experiment was carried out from December 2015 to February 2016. There are a large number of targets including GEO targets and stars in the field of view. The movement forms of GEO targets are various, including satellites working on orbit, new satellites entering orbit, orbit maneuver and deorbit. Some GEO targets with an inclination not equal to 0 degree move at a very low speed due to the Earth perturbation.
