Re: Contrail spotting May 2013
Hi, It's a shame that the photo could have been better if the scope wasn't affected by the morning dew settling on the mirror. But at least a movement after such a long time. 27/05 06:53; DLH439 DFW-FRA FL370 D-AIKB https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ITLdu7gBW1M/UadRK4LvT4I/AAAAAAAAAIA/iEpNYDBQq8g/w...

Re: Contrail spotting May 2013
Just saw the two turkish 777 pass over with great contrast, but didnt have the scope out as just got back from work. I think they operate another flight to JFK that passes in the evening THY11. Turkish operates 3 times a day to JFK: THY3 (morning), THY1 (afternoon) and THY11 (evening). THY33 is to ...

Re: First contrails: bright spot
I think its caused by the barlow lens, that barlow in the link is notorious for causing problems like the white spot. You should either buy a better quality one, i.e. televue, soligor, or just take the barlow off and shoot without it. Even though there will be less focal length you'll still get a be...

Re: Contrail spotting April 2013
Hi, Clear skies all day on tuesday and didn't want to waste a nice clear day so took the scope to CPT VOR to catch more movements. Unfortunately had the same problem as DC10MD11, throughout the morning/afternoon the sky was full with heatwaves and haze and most pics went in the trash :cry:. Heatwave...

Re: Contrail spotting February 2013
Hi Everyone, February is looking a lot more promising :) We had very clear skies on Saturday, unfortunately i was working during the morning and could only watch them streak overhead but rushed home to catch a few afternoon shots. I was also after that Martinair MD-11 that DC10MD11 caught, but he fl...

Re: Contrail spotting December 2012
Very nice catch Kopinet, the 787 looks strange from this angle, the wings look huge! I hope to catch the 787 in 2013.
DC10MD11, that orange fuselage could well be from de-icing fluid as in New York the temperature is around -1c with snow.
Clear skies forecast for tomorrow![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Re: New to Contrail Spotting
Hi and welcome! Yes it is worth buying a barlow lens so that you can increase the magnification significantly, but not the one you suggested. Many have tried that skywatcher barlow lens but didnt like the results it was giving. The best option is the televue 2x 2" powermate, but it comes at a p...

Re: Contrail spotting November 2012
Hi, Had the same problems as DC10MD11 with the moisture in the air and on the mirror... created some problems and I had to use the hairdryer. :lol: Most pics went in the bin, including the Brussels A330 which came over at a nice angle... pity about the conditions. There were some evident strong uppe...
