Plane passing close to the Moon.

Was up early this morning,and noticed the Hong Kong flights passing reasonably close to the moon.So when I had my breakfast on the verandah I thought I'd have my 400 L and 450D at the ready.I could here a plane-but hard to see with all that cloud.when I could see the plane I only had a very short time to turn camera on and point.Was able to get two frames.the first a bit blurry,but the second I aim at the plane,looks like a bird or moth wanted to be in the picture too,but it appears its the sharper of the two.I will paint it out later.The plane appears to be a 'Virgin Blue' Embraer ERJ-190,a domestic flight about to land at Brisbane from Cairns or Townsville.

Specs 1250th of second,iso 400,AV 5.6.hand held,I hope this may be of interest,thanks for looking.
