Re: Contrail Spotting December 2011
Now that I found some time to take care of the pictures taken over the last few weeks, these are my first results from December. Limitations due to the weather are obvious.

I am not an expert but I think the one thing that is against you is that there is no contrail in the photo and thus could be taken of an aircraft much closer to the ground.
To start with try reducing the size of the photo to 1024x683 and add some contrast and a bit more unsharp mask.

Hi,
Here's my report from saturday. Weather forcast said sunny all day so I took the scope up to East Ilsley (home to the CPT VOR), where you can see a lot more movements overhead than my home location.

SWR16 FL360 HB-JHE ZRH-JFK (below contrails of aer lingus a320)
SLM994 FL360 PZ-TCP PBM-AMS
EVA6072 FL370 B-16401 JFK-BRU (highlight of the day - maybe a new service started on this route )
GTI8122 FL350 N458MC DOV-HHN
AAR587 FL370 HL7415 JFK-BRU (also spotted by DC10MD11)
EXS583 FL350 G-CELO NCL-ALC

Re: Contrail Spotting December 2011
There are always aircraft buzzing around, many of them don´t appear on Flightradar, because they don´t have the ADS-B transponder. So when eg. KLM exchanges Fokker 70s with Embraer E-Jets there´s less traffic visible on Flightradar .
Here´s a little collection of those non-appearers, but don´t expect any details like registrations .
Even the exact variant of the aircraft might be wrong, please don´t nail me if I can´t tell an E170 from an E175 .

This one looks like a Donbassaero A321Kopinet wrote:download/file.php?id=1615&mode=view
I couldn´t find out the identity of this aircraft yet even though it´s brightly coloured
Re: Contrail Spotting December 2011
Seems like you´ve got it , and they have only one, so this must be UR-DAF. Sometimes I let flightradar replay the day´s movements when I took photos far from home, but this one didn´t show up, so it must have been in stealth mode .contrailwatcherUK wrote: This one looks like a Donbassaero A321
