A new month has started, and thus new opportunities to share your contrail photographs. And the sun is shining here...

Here is a first picture for this month. Not from me (I don't have the right equipment), but from the founder of this thread (Skystef):
Today towards sunset, G-TUIA, one of Thomsonfly's current four Dreamliners was en-route Goa-Gatwick at 40000ft as TOM053 above Belgium.

Goodmorning all, I hope everyone is doing well.
In 10 minutes I have to go to work and I just took a glance at the sky from my balcony..not even one cloud and persistent contrails..you all know the feeling don't you? Perfect conditions!!!
Anyway, have a nice day all,

Hi all,
my first photos with Televue Powermate 2" 2x. Planes were flying a bit far and conditions were not perfect, but I think Televue is worth every single cent. I know I can do much better though!
regards,
