Re: Contrail spotting April 2015

Hi, 27/04. Photos taken in the Brecon Beacons, Wales. Weather was mostly cloudy, but some gaps in the cloud meant nice contrast. Unfortunately the air was unstable and it was very windy so many photos were scrapped. 14:42; EIN239 LGW-DUB FL320 EI-CVB https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CO1-yTq50oc/VT...

Re: Need help with a Telescope!

Hi and welcome! To be able to help you I need some more information, i.e. exactly what telescope it is. 900mm is not enough information, aperture and focal ratio are big factors as well. Most of us here are using 8-12" (diameter) 1200mm focal length dobsonian telescopes which fit contrail spott...

Hi, 03/02. A nice surprise for me. I noticed on planeplotter an A330MRTT coming towards me at FL250. Went outside and saw some more contrails behind. Turned out to be 4 Eurofighters, which later went for refueling over the English channel. It's unfortunate that I didn't have time to remove the 2x le...

Hi astrakeri, great photos and nice conditions from your German location! Did you bring your telescope in the car from Italy or is it a vacation home with scope?

Hi,

Just one from today. 8/8 all day except for 30 minutes of blue sky and PH-BVG made an appearance, so out came the scope.
