Great photo! I remember several years ago, there was a program about flying cars. Dick Rutan, said, at any given moment there are hardly any planes in the air, and we should go out side and look for ourselves, so I did. It looked about like your photo, I had to laugh.

Thanks, Stearman. I love clouds and this particular day some sort of condition in the atmosphere froze all the contrails in the sky.

Nice composistion! M8 with red-ish filter or pure post production B/W-conversion?

Gives a very pronounced depth of field when looking at the large version!

Thanks. I was using my astronomy camera, which is a monochrome streaming 6MP industrial webcam (with no IR blocking filter) and a 780nm IR filter. The lens was an old Nikkor 50 f1.2. Most of what I shot was through a small telescope. It's a cloudy day vacation project I've done for a number of years. I'll post a few others.

I am sure you have seen the photos from WWII, where all you see is the contrails. I always have to remind my self, as beautiful as those photos were, men were dieing in those contrails! [video=youtube;wfOrez6q7WM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfOrez6q7WM[/video]

Alan, have you taken any photos of PANSTARRS yet?

I haven't. I really hadn't followed it until it became the subject of APOD the past few days. Looks like it was a great photo op if you had a clear western horizon.

A fine example of Mid Century Modern commercial architecture. I believe that the bank are the building's original occupants.

Here's the photo of Polar star I took on the last day of July. I definitely need at least HEQ-5 mount
