Morning all , I had a play with the telescope yesterday as the air was clearish ,i still struggled with a little heat haze but it was clear enough to read the reg's of the ones that came close.
A few firsts for me being- seeing an American in its new colors and my first photo of a B787 albeit from over 60 miles away lol.
I think the VIR 747 was prob' the best shot .
All taken at 2400mm from Oakworth ,West Yorkshire

Enjoy and please feel free to comment ,it's always nice to know what you think good or bad.
