Jet Star in Earth Shine

[stardust steve (Steve)]

Hi. I was out checking out the sunset last night and the Waxing Crescent Moon when i saw a plane go close. So i stayed around for a bit longer and got rewarded with another transit
I tried something different this time and decided to go for a wider view with just the 55-250mm kit lens at 200mm.
The lights from the plane created a blur from the planes speed and 1/4 sec exp. A faster lens would have been great
500D-55-250mm kit lens @200-f 5.6-iso 1600-tripod-manual shutter press.

This transit makes #5.
Thanks for looking.
Steve.

Nicely done! You're an expert on these.

Also, tip of the hat for Plane Finder. Great app! Tried the augmented reality version (PF AR)? That's pretty neat, too.

Nice one Steve, you must be dedicated ? I've miss a couple by only a degree or so, Planes need and 20-30 horsepower for that little bit of extra lift, Lol !
Inspiring shot all the same
