Actually Paul,I do find this comment not all that favourably,and I feel Geoff might too.
Reason-I have observed that aircraft for many years,and put a fair bit of time in to working out the calculations of when it would pass the moon.If that is not some sort of maths and astronomy-well may be you think Captain James Cook was not doing astronomy when he went to the Pacific to observe the transit of Venus.
Geoff has also used a similar style of observation-0ver many years to obtain his wonderful image.
May be the mods like to have a review of the above post from Paul.
Thank you-Chris
