Blummin' contrails

[DaveS]

So both CO and BBC agree that it'll be a clear night. So what do I see?

Right, contrails everywhere. I hate Heathrow. Come on BoJo, build your island and trash the place ASAP.

[Davey-T]

Fingers crossed here Dave, perhaps they''ll disappear with the Moon

They can be a pest around here too - not far from Manchester Airport. Under some atmospheric conditions they just don't disperse and hang around for ages, eventually messing up the entire visible sky. With a moon in the sky you can just forget imaging completely when that happens.

Lies anyway. It's cloudy as anything out there

[Psychobilly]

Living under one of the main transatlantic flight paths can be a a bit of a nuisance as well  but every now and again under certain atmospheric conditions....

Funny thing I went to cuba for 2 weeks in august in the entire 2 weeks I didn't see one jet or any other aircraft fly over day or night for 2 weeks not one contrails mad. I did see the milky way for the first time though when the power was cut for half hour ☺

[Mrbloke]

We need Iceland to start up another volcano. That would help clear the skies for a while.

[DaveS]

Well the contrails have gone, to be replaced by nine tenths cloud.

Given up, watching the All Blacks trash Namibia.

[Davey-T]

Co still saying clear but clouds ATM.

Perhaps they should have a handicap system like golf

[DaveS]

It's clearing from the west now. Too late for me as I have to be up at stupid o/c for work. By the time I'd set up it'd be time to turn in. If you don't have to be up early it might be usable.

[ChrisLX200]

I can't see the contrails any more... they're hidden by clouds.

Thats a lot of cloud, although clouds are measured in Oktas, which is an eighth!

And have you read the theories that these are Chemical trails, caused by a US Gov. secret program?

[DaveS]

Ooh, a secret US govt conspiracy theory  nothing better to wake up the mods.

Talking of waking up, when I got up this morning it was a lovely blue sky. Can't win  .

[Stu]

Cough cough.....

Nothing to see here, move along now
