Bingo! Flying over Abruzzo during sunset. Photo taken with a telescope. 3000 mm focal length. The plane was about 15 - 20 km away. Thanks to skystef, contrailwatcheruk and the whole luchtzak.be contrail spotting forum for making this photo possible with their tips and tricks. For any question just ask by mail

2) If I happen to come across interesting footage, do I automatically own the copyright?
3) Is there any way to profit or make any kind of income from the footage to pay for time and equipment? If I end up really enjoying this hobby, I would like to buy more advance equipment.
7) Any good locations to start with in Southern California? And since I am not the only one who will read this thread, are they any good locations throughout the world with confirmed sightings?

4) Is there an association or club who gather these kind of hobbyists together to share information?
5) Is there any other equipment that would be helpful?
6) What is the most powerful consumer telescope that I can attach a camcorder/camera to. How much of a magnification could I expect from it.
