Hi,

Not much action from me for the last few months mainly due to poor conditions. Hopefully that will change as we go into Autumn/Winter. Tomorrow I'm flying to Poland to meet with vader, looking forward to catching some different airlines/aircraft.

Hi,

Finally, here's my trip report to Poland (and FRA).

8/9

During my flight BRS-KRK, I was trying to catch some air2air shots. It was cloudy for most of the flight but managed to catch one over NL.

SAS88K CDG-ARN FL390 LN-RPW (2,000ft above)

Then I met up with Mateusz (vader) at his home in South Krakow. Luckily it was good weather so we put the scope outside and ordered pizza . I brought my camera + Televue 2x and mounted it to his Skywatcher 10. Contrails came from all directions and it was interesting to see some different angles of light than I'm used to at home, as well as the different variety of airlines from Russia.

Well I'm finally back to scoping after changing my Skywatch 250PX for an Orion Optics VX12 and waiting a few months for it to be delivered this is the first oppurtunity to test it out. I'm looking forward to some cool winter mornings and some great conditions.
