Let's use this to validate the reported position of GOES-16 itself using Celestia.
Orbit should be between 35,788.1 and 35,798.7 km (35793.4 avg) above 0.0002°N 89.4589°W and this image was from Jan. 15, 2017.
I got approximately 20:37Z
I have positional data for June but this was taken in January so we've probably drifted a bit East.
