Re: Contrail spotting October 2009
Hi
I'm from germany and I really love contrail spotting!!
But I'm only 18 and at the very beginning of my spotting "career", so I have some questions:
1. I have an older telescope, Vixen R114S with 900mm, is this enough for good pictures?
2. Where can I find maps with the routes over southern germany (I didn't find anything with google)?
Can anybody help me?
btw very good pictures from all of you!
thanks
joni

No experience with this scoop. 900 mm in combi with 114 mm diameter gives an F ratio of almost 8, this should be enough to gain high shutter speeds during the day, perhaps a bit problematic during the twilight hours.
The magnification seems also enough, at least to start with, afterwards perhaps a converter 1,5x or so could also do some wonders.
Concerning the enroute high altitude maps: presumable nothing free to found on the net, however have some maps, including those over S-Germany. If interested, could give it a scan, gimme a mail via my web.
Here one of last week, little before sunset on UL608: 9K-ADE

Re: Contrail spotting October 2009
Nice bulk of pics DC10MD11, overhere in October hardly a day with descent sunshine, but thats part of the game.
All frames of Atlas are freighters, some of them converted from pax a/c, but with windows left.
