The map looks like surrealistic art .

The race is great - we don't really see races so often and it is a great view

Beautiful pictures. Nice catch with two heavies in one frame. Also I love those high detail bottom view of KLM 747

What different colours means on that SBS map?
I see all the traffic somhow avoids Wales. Is there some sort of restricted airspace above Wales? Most be a total nightmare to live there and see no contrails at all.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention what the colours mean.

Red = Descending
Blue = Ascensding
White = Level flight

I dont think the traffic avoids Wales, but its just because there are no airways here. There are parts of he UK that are reserved for military use where no or limited flights occur.

Hi,

Now, when i know color values, I can see some more things in that picture:-)
I see that from the south descending and climbing traffic to/from London area fly on separate quite wide corridors. Of coure there is amazing amount of air traffic around London, so departing/arriving traffic can not share same airways.

At last after almost a month of cloudiness, I got few hours of clear sky today.

I bought Pentax Spotting Scope PF-65 EDA II and it was first test of it today. I still have a lot to learn by using spotting scope, and hopefully my pictures wil improve a lot. It's just the weather: very short days, and a lot of clouds which annoys me now

Hi,

Sorry to hear you have a lot of cloud at the moment Asdrius. Is it unusual to have a lot of cloud this time of year?
I have just experienced a lot of rain over the past week, but tomorrow and tuesday will be clear
If I can, I might take my telescope somewhere with busier airways

What type of camera do you use with it ?

best regards.

What type of camera do you use with it ?

I use my very simple Olympus C-460. Now camera is my weak part. I'm thinking of buying Pentax DSLR camera and PF-CA35 camera adapter to use with this scope, but first I have to save some money first

It's typical weather for me at this time. November-December in Lithuania you can almost forget how blue sky looks like, because you can see grey skies all the time with only very rare gaps of clear sky for just few hours in a whole month . But from January it usually gets better
So I'll just have to be patient now. Enjoy clear skies
