Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
Yes sometimes they route more north or south than the usual UL607 depending on if theres a favourable wind over the atlantic. You can see the north atlantic winds via this link: http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/jetstream.aspDC10MD11 wrote:have not seen any longhaul over/flights by LUFTHANSA or KLM in the last 2 days.MAY BE ROUTING ELSE WHERE??.
Today hundreds of a/c routing west over london, lots of air france so maybe you'll get to see their new A380

Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
When the meteo conditions are right, winter season provides an opportunity for low contrails.
Captured on Jan 7, Dash8 G-JECK of Flybe at FL240 enroute DUS-LGW on UL608.

Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
Hello,
17/01
Tried to do some contrail spotting but the clouds were winning the battle against the blue sky. Probably I missed some traffic due the clouds.
This is only what I saw in 40 minutes ( 15.20-16.00):
Germanwings A320 D-AGWH CGN-MAN FL380 on UL608
Emirates B777 A6-ECW LGW-DXB on UL607
Ryanair B737-8AS EI-DPV FMM-STN UL608
British Airways A320 G-EUYP SOF-LHR FL360 on UL608 to LOGAN
OO-VMX Piper PA-28-161 Warrior III
Greetings,
Kristof
17/01
Tried to do some contrail spotting but the clouds were winning the battle against the blue sky. Probably I missed some traffic due the clouds.
This is only what I saw in 40 minutes ( 15.20-16.00):
Germanwings A320 D-AGWH CGN-MAN FL380 on UL608
Emirates B777 A6-ECW LGW-DXB on UL607
Ryanair B737-8AS EI-DPV FMM-STN UL608
British Airways A320 G-EUYP SOF-LHR FL360 on UL608 to LOGAN
OO-VMX Piper PA-28-161 Warrior III

Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
Absolutely Collimation Eyepiece! Laser need everything to be already ok. It's only a way to check collimation. Cap works like the eyepiece but the eyepiece is much betterDC10MD11 wrote:Hi

Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
i DC11 i've had this dilemma, i've used cap without barlow and produced a good result:DC10MD11 wrote:HELP----WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COLLIMATION A SCOPE????????????COLLIMATION EYEPIECE????CAP?????OR LASER????--------I HAVE ALL 3 BUT THE THE RESULTS ARE NOT THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

then tried same approach with Barlow attached and get this:

So tried out a laser which didn't work too well:
![Image](http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv81/gpgregperace/CRW_3071-1.jpg)
so i've ordered a Cheshire eyepiece as this will tell me whether i should invest in a top of the range Barlow as i will have absolute confidence that my mirrors are spot on.
I will let you know how i get on as its delivery has been delayed in snow

Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
The difference between a pretty good barlow (televue) or a cheap one (soligor) is really evident, especially if you use the barlow for taking because because it's known that human eye can't see all image's imperfections like you do when you take a picture. BTW a collimation eyepiece works like a cap but it has some things in it that helps collimating the scope.
One more important thing to say about barlow is that you can use them only in really clear day with no turbolence and heat waves. Ask james for any other information (it has a tele vue barlow and i think also a soligor)
Have a good evening,
Mattia

Re: Contrail spotting January 2010
hi there
a couple from this afternoon without Barlow, collimated mirrors with cheshire for first time and pleased with results (lighting and conditions have been superb this weekend). Ive also sold my Skywatcher Barlow as I'm Saving for Powermate and T-ring to go with it

Hi dc10, nice shots! You seem to live near some busy airways. Are you using the barlow lens for these photos?
