No problem! Contrail spotting can be enjoyed without pictures, or with photographs and videos alike.

Hello,

having very much fun taking pictures of high flying aircraft, but still not prepared to buy a decent telescope :o instead I went for a new camera a couple of weeks ago :) . Since it arrived the weather was often so bad, I rarely had a chance to catch aircraft. When I finally succeded I had to realize that the new cam needed much more attention and I am really struggeling to get the results I expect. A day with clear sky would be very welcome, to figure out how to adjust the settings properly :roll: .
Just two shots from early December.


Regards

Kopinet

Hi all,

Yes its raining a lot atm, and the best use I can find for my telescope is to re-collimate it :roll:

My only contribution to this thread, and don't try to magnify the picture: it's taken with a "normal" camera without a telescope:
