Re: Contrail spotting January 2016

Hi! 05/01/16 One photo from today. It was a pity this was the only movement because contrails were forming at much lower altitudes today - around FL250-320 :). Hopefully the same tomorrow. 13:00; VIR93R LGW-CUN FL260+ G-VROS https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/zN5wmPrCWvQuvUGY_iMbfwgHR9eZvreVeyT9U13mS...

Re: Which telescope?

Hi dion, I would highly reccomend the skywatcher 10" dobsonian. Make sure it's this one, not the flextube one because you need to block out the sun shining on the mirrors. Probably the most popular choice among contrailspotters. It's not to heavy and can fit in most small hatchbacks if you plan...
