The exhaust trail blurring the moon is really something. Great capture!

Smart A.. Another great transit shot, your certainly in the right spot for them, wish we had a greater range of aircraft transiting... Was thinking of going to Parafield to try get one one day....

Thanks Justin. It was moving quite fast ( some appear to be traveling faster than others) and I wasn't sure 1/1000 would be fast enough to freeze the plane.
Also it appeared lower than some of the others I have shot.

Thanks Darren. Yeah the trails are awesome. Sometimes I can see craters in them as the light is reflected ( although it could be my imagination)

Haha thanks. Sometimes smart doesn't cut it Andrew luck still plays a large part. There have been many occasions were they all missed... Many occasions lol

It's a conspiracy for sure! that's clearly a US NSA/CIA modified drone craft intentionally being flown into the moon, to start a war with China

Great capture

yeah those pesky drones.
Yes good theory, they also could be targeting that German base on the dark side of the Moon... Iron Sky style
Cheers.

Magic catch Steve

Steve, catch is fantastic, no doubt about it, but (for me) the huge watermark right across the centre is a nonsense ..

Thanks Ian.
Many others would probably agree with you and in an ideal world, i too would like to.
However, after finding one of my transit images on someone's website/blog (purely by accident) with no credit, no permission AND my watermark that was in the bottom right corner cropped out, I watermark my transit images across the middle now.
Maybe I am being too idealistic, but i would have thought a little bit of courtesy goes a long way for those that like to "borrow" images.

Great capture Steve.

Well done.
