Yes, all contrail pictures have been taken with the barlow, in fact it's always attached on my scope.DC10MD11 wrote:to skystef

In the past I only removed it for the contrails-crossing-the-Moon photography, but shooting them with my 500mm telelens gives more or less the same result and is much easier.

Re: Contrail spotting November 2008
Hi,
I think your problem is the barlow lens. It is only 1.25mm and doesnt let in much light. I think you would be better off taking pictures without the barlow lens first.
Here its too cloudy, although its breaking up a bit now but its also beginning to get dark
