    Lucky you with a break in the weather.Have missed so much air traffic of late due to continued bad weather.Air France A380's along with many other airlines I have not seen before.Blue sky one minute,then clouds over before I even have time to setup.
    Jetstream is forecast to move to the north of the UK by the end of the week.
    Good quality contrails may be here soon!!

            • Stifflord - Very good images and without using your Tele Vue Powermate.
              The weather today here in the UK (Sout East) is very good,blue skies and many contrails.
              Due to the heat,I'm just not able to produce any photographs with the aircraft being in perfect focus.
              Going to have to wait until later today.
              Using an identical setup as you,there is a lot to get right in order to produce that perfect in focus shot.
              The quality of your images are excellent.
              I'm trying different shutter speeds, 1/500 up to 1/1000 with ISO 100 or 200. White balance set to auto.
              Weather conditions are of course vital, moving the telescope in line with the aircraft and then taking a picture takes practice.
