Jet passing in front of the moon!
Hi all,
While photographing
tonight's Moonrise from Mt Coot-tha I was lucky enough to capture this jet passing in front of the Moon. Hope you like the result!
Cheers,
Stephen

How exciting for you!!! Seeing it heading towards the Moon, the anticipation, is it or isn't it going to transit. And then the capture.
woo hoo lucky you.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'd seen the jet approaching about a minute before it reached the Moon, and was trying to work out if it would transit, which did generate a bit of excitement. Last time I had the opportunity to do this I mucked up the focus, so it was nice to get it right this time!

Nicely done - wish I'd seen the new version this morning. It would've been IOTW

timed to perfection. Love how the engines vapor has created a distorted section of the Moon.
