Contrail spotting August 2011

Post by DC10MD11 »

Hi
A Few more pictures which i took Friday 5th august with a BARLOW------SKY was hazy.
I have got the Barlow about 10mm away from the CAMERA BY MAKING THE 2" T-THREAD CAMERA NOSEPIECE SHORTER-----Please tell me what you think of the pictures---Please remember the sky was hazy and the temperature was about 23c and pictures are taken about 17.50 GMT and the aircraft are going east alway from the SUN.

May be in the winter when it is cold the pictures could be improved?????????????????????????????????????.

Hello,
I was always interested in aviation topics, and I never missed an opportunity to make photos of aircraft, near or far away. But there were always limitations due to the camera I had, which changed since I bought a bridge camera with a large zoom factor. Earlier I had small white dots in the sky, now I can identify what´s crossing over me, and while trying to find out some aircraft types from a still unusual perspective, I stumbled in the internet over some pictures which really stunned me. Guess where ?
I can´t compare my pictures with those made with telescopes - I´d really like to read the registration codes but I can´t come near with my tiny equipment - but I like to share some of my pics, taken during the last couple of days somewhere near EDDV in Germany. Photos made with Sony HX100V.

Kind regards

I always thought the 737 was a twin jet - must be wrong. KLM 10.08.
