Hi
many thanks for your post----------------i use a skywatcher 8inch scope 1200mm f/6 with a dobson mount which i got off e-bay about a year ago for £200 and i use a canon 350d and i also use photoshop 7 for the photos(resizeing etc).
its a great hobby and takes a lot of practice+its nice to see other contrail spotters photos from other parts of the world.

all the best
