I'd say you're about 20 miles south of me, judging from those 747-8 shots :)

Nice shots Steve! Check this for a set-up: (Some guy on the flightradar24 forum)

SkyWatcher 10" / TeleVue 2x Powermate / Canon 50D = a 2400mm focal length lens

Link to his set-up: http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/2879-Aircraft-contrails?p=17441#post17441

Sample images: His name is Stifflord; http://forum.flightradar24.com/threads/2879-Aircraft-contrails/page60

Pretty good, eh?

Some nice pics both here and in the link. I've always been envious of some of the Polish guys with telescopes, some of the contrail images they get are stunning. Fascinating to see the full telescope setup, I hadn't realised it was so big!

XL Airways France A330, F-GSEU at 34000ft. Very chuffed to catch this, I've been wanting to see this aircraft for a good while now, thought I'd have to go to Paris to see it. :)

Good catch!  I've only seen him on the tracks over us on a few occasions and always at night.

Yes, it was quite a nice catch. However I just missed the Cargolux 747-8F that just flew right over my house. DOH!

Here`s a couple I took yesterday afternoon-both were almost directly overhead,so I can`t make out much of the livery;I think one might be in Star Alliance colours??


Need to get my lens recalibrated,focus is a bit vague at times  :(
