Congratulations on catching those AT! A rather sparse day due to the northerly tracks.

A bit grotty through high-ISO, caught this Emirates B77W A6-ENL westbound in the last glow of the set Sun.

Busy man AT! Lovely shots.

Today is a total haze-out over Ards. Really frustrating.

Don`t think you will have missed too much anyway;I have only had 5 OTT today,and only 2 where close enough for any sort of decent shots.

Thought i would try and get a nice sunset photo of any aircraft and i got the air new zealand (all black)

Lovely pink trail! Well shot.

As I sit in Ards at my desk facing west I can see BAW7TG's pink trail as he heads westward over ~~Shannon~~ Galway. Amazing how far one can see!

Here's a shot from 'the other side' compared to String, it's rather blurry from the slow shutter but has an unusual Sunset hue.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #336 on:** November 12, 2013, 06:01:02 PM »

Very nice shots of the ANZ,I have yet to see it.

What a rubbish cloudy day.

I caught this UAL B764 above the clouds 'threading the needle' through a 747's contrail.

Other than that I mainly sulked. And did that 'work' thing.

Steve7 · « **Reply #338 on:** November 18, 2013, 02:37:18 PM »

BA A380 and 787 Dreamliner.

Very good Steve - unfortunately they were in the Sun-glare haze from Ards.

Ever wondered how a B748 differs from a B744? DLH's B744 D-ABTF overlaid on D-ABYF. Both this afternoon, respectively to Denver and Mexico City.

smudge · « **Reply #340 on:** November 20, 2013, 08:24:05 PM »

Rubbish day, thick mucky haze and then rain squalls.

Caught this BAW 747, G-BNLT, at distance making five contrails. Flushing the galley for arrival?

09:12 in the morning and the Sun had barely cleared the horizon $:-\$

smudge · « **Reply #341 on:** November 22, 2013, 03:08:08 PM »

Just a thought - has anyone with a 6D / 7D or that ilk of camera tried to make a video of an OTT? Would likely require tripod mounting but would be interesting.

casper · « **Reply #342 on:** November 22, 2013, 08:27:27 PM »

Have a 7D but to be honest I haven't even pointed it at the sky in months

smudge · « **Reply #343 on:** November 22, 2013, 08:31:07 PM »

Aww casper! Well you didn't miss much today, cloudy and mucky.

But good old FDX36 showed-up after the clouds had departed; eastbound at 16:36, after Sunset, reflecting the Sun's disk.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #344 on:** November 22, 2013, 10:38:52 PM »

I think I saw that OTT my work in Ballinderry-time is about right 1630ish,tracked right across Lough Neagh just north of Portmore Lough;I stood and watched thinking it would make a good shot.

I had a 7D but changed to Nikon D7100,never tried video on any of my DSLR`s.

smudge · « **Reply #345 on:** November 23, 2013, 09:56:05 PM »

Not a lot from Ards today, same pattern as the rest of the week so far; early haze turning to whispy cloud and then solidifying.

United's N651UA in the old blue livery crossing under a pretty contrail left by a Viking A321 a few minutess earlier, 2000 ft higher.

smudge · « **Reply #346 on:** December 01, 2013, 06:27:21 PM »

Not much light in the sky these days. Here's todays gloomy dawn shot.

Delta's N814NW running in the wake of N855NW, both eastbound to Amsterdam at FL380 and FL400.

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #347 on:** December 02, 2013, 12:48:52 AM »

I like that shot-lovely light-haven`t seen a contrail for over a week.

Steve7 · « **Reply #348 on:** December 09, 2013, 01:24:07 PM »

Aeroflot.

Pretty mucky haze today, but nice to see some variety over Ards! Aeroflot's leased A332 VQ-BBF on service AFL150 to Havana.

Running 'silent' with ADS-B off.

Edit: ah, well done Steve!
