Hi, Two photos from the last two days. A cold front sits over the UK, so we have the usual showers and no contrails :( 02/11/12: KLM744 LIM-AMS FL350 PH-BVD http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/th_027.jpg 03/11/12: VIR27 LGW-MCO FL260 G-VINE http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/t...

Thanks DC10, I was quite astonished by how low they were contrailing that day.... starting around FL270 and I was 1600ft ASL.... I think I'll definitely go back there if we have another clear spell of weather

Many Thanks,
James.

Hi, Last week I was on holiday in the Brecon Beacons in Wales, and so I took the scope. For most of the week I was under a blanket of cloud until Saturday, when we had a blast of cold air coming from the north bringing clear skies. That morning I drove up a hill of 500m (1640ft) and watched as LHR d...

Hi, Yesterday the contrails came back, this time but only between 28,000 & 32,000ft... which allowed me to snap some LGW departures :D 16/10/12 ACA876 YYZ-FRA FL370 C-FITL, quite rare in my area but no contrail :( http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/th_137_filtered.jpg 18/10/12 BAW226...

Hi, Today I had blue sky for most of the day, but nearly all movements taking a northern route over the Atlantic to avoid the jet stream. This was the only opportunity, and yet another KLM to add to my collection... I think one day i'll have their whole fleet in my album :D . KLM791 AMS-GRU FL300 PH...

Air France A380 is the pick of the bunch James :P I thought so too Ian, I was hoping to harpoon a few whales that day but this was the only one worth a photo. The singapore SIA26 came over just as I arrived but the scope hadn't adjusted to the outside temp. Also saw another AFR but flew backlit. I ...

Hi, This is my report from Saturday. Weather forecast said sunny all day and as I normally get such a small amount of movements over my hometown I decided to put the scope in the car and drive about 75 miles north west to my spotting point near the VOR to capture more traffic. When I arrived there w...

nice photos, the swiss a330 has a great contrast... the Kenko seems to be doing its job nicely!

Hi, Something a little bit different from me this time, these photos were taken during my spotting trip to AMS last weekend with my Canon 100-400mm Lens. The weather was excellent on the saturday and although I was mainly taking pictures of planes nearer to the ground I also kept a close eye on the ...

Great Lufthansa Retro, vader!

Hi, 2 photos from this week. Conditions improving as Autumn approaches with fresher weather.... 12/09/12: KLM743 AMS-LIM FL320 PH-BQB, in great conditions & lighting, but no contrail! http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/th_463_2_filtered.jpg 13/09/12: LOT15 WAW-EWR FL320 SP-LPB, a rar...

Awesome catch of the two luftys overtaking DC10MD11, glad the kenko works well! I also spotted the Transaero 747 going overhead here too but I was in town at the time so I just had to watch it with the naked eye. Still waiting for it to get nice and cold here... bring on winter!

Hi, Managed to get quite a few photos last week, and had some strange winds coming from the north which caused a few unusual sightings such as the Alitalia 777 :D 26/08/12: TSC623 LGW-YYZ FL300 C-GTSJ http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/th_042_filtered.jpg VIR27 LGW-MCO FL240 G-VXLG http:...

hi DC10MD11, do you know if its possible to use Canon 2x extender iii? or do you also get the error code?

Hi, A few photos taken from the last few days: 22/06/12. UPS203 PHL-CGN FL350 N259UP - No contrail http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/th_011_filtered.jpg 24/06/12.

Hi, Some shots I took on Tue 19th. I got up early at 4:30 to take some shots before work and spot some of the Trans-Atlantic rush. Unfortunately I had some problems with the scope, and the photos were coming out with the plane as a double image. :( BEL502 JFK-BRU FL390 OO-SFW http://i109.photobucket...

Hi, Well I finally caught the TNT, taken at 21:06 when the sun was setting. 13/06, TAY11 JFK-LGG FL350 OO-TSA http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/th_133_filtered-1.jpg Weather is looking nice for tomorrow so I'll go to sleep for an early wake at 4:30AM to put the scope out :wtf: James.

Great catch of the Atlas Air 748. I saw it on the radar going past London and was wodering if you got a photo of it

Hi, I dont think anyone on this forum uses a nikon, I only know of canon users on here, however there are some folk who use the nikon setup on this forum: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=pl&u=http://extremespotting.com/&ei=KSCHT5KIJoqU8gO9xpS0Bw&sa=X&oi=translate...

Hi, I saw the TNT for the first time the on Tuesday, but it passed when the sun had just set and I forgot to change the iso setting on the camera and all the photos were taken at 1/50 :thumbdown: Next time! :roll: 28/05: SIA25 JFK-FRA-SIN FL390 9V-SKE http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/jpro747/t...
