Indeed, but I had watched them through the bino's from about 30-35 degrees elevation, so could see them fairly well head on. They are at full cruising altitude overhead, so yes, very difficult if you're looking straight up.
They also rarely make a sound, so you have to see them coming, the vapour trails helped me pick them up earlier than usual yesterday.

You can see the paint schemes easily through the bino's. For the flight numbers and times, I checked the airline timetables.
Cheers,
