amazing photos here. i have one question as i am very interested in contrail spotting. i currently use a spotting scope with 780mm focal length with a plossl variable zoom eyepiece(26-72x zoom). i can see the outline of the plane but not in very good detail as clarity is lost when i zoom in. i can just about make out the airline by the colour of the tail when looking through the scope. i have been thinking of getting a barlow lens for a while and i am am wondering will it improve what i see through my scope. i also have fixed power eyepieces of 20 and 12mm if that helps? i am thinking maybe a 2x barlow. will i see the planes better? any help would be great :)

Soon, within 15-30min's, the A380 from Lufthansa will be crossing the south of GB. It's the D-AIMA with callsign DLH404.
