Some ridiculously good pictures from everyone, some clear skies coming up this week, cameras at the ready. Would be interested to see if anyone can catch one of the new BA 777-300ER's that seems to overfly NI almost daily.

Decided to try out some contrail spotting with my telescope for the first time earlier.  Focus was out by a small amount I think, but I'm quite pleased with the results.

1) Virgin Atlantic A340-600  G-VGAS
2 & 3) British Airways B747-400 G-BNLR
4) British Airways B747-400 G-BYGF

For a first attempt they're fantastic. Do you have an adopter to connect the camera to the telescope?
