Supermoon plane transit

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

After catching one of these last month, I thought it was worth trying again with the perigee full Moon. We were clouded out on Sunday evening, so I tried again on Monday, when the Moon was still only 21 hrs past perigee. My technique of pre-focussing my 50D and 70-200 f/4L telephoto, and then just sitting and waiting for a jet to fly past while the Moon was in the right spot worked again .

A single image is attached, and a 1 MB animation can be seen here:

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Very cool Stephen. Now to ask you the same question that was posed with my Plane, Moon, Jupiter image: "What sort of plane was it and what was the flight number?" http://www.flightradar24.com/

Easy part is it is a 737-800 - either QANTAS or Virgin
