Plane Spotting

A bit of fun while on holidays over Easter.
A regular check of Flightradar24.com showed a daily flyover
of a Cathay Pacific heavy over Broken Hill at the same time of
day.
Shown here climbing out of Melbourne (1st pic) it is 27,000ft but climbs to
between 37,000 and 40,000 once it reached Broken Hill as a waypoint
to Hong Kong.
With the budget webcam and the ED80 on Scooter, I hand tracked it
while it was exactly overhead and picked out a few clear frames.
Callsign verified it as B-HLQ
