Plane transiting the moon!

[Subdeo]

On 12-2-17 I noticed that the moon was in the sky near a place that is frequented by airplanes. I pointed the telescope at the moon and had the smartphone ready and waiting. The first planes were too high, but as the moon climbed slowly higher and higher, one plane finally transited the moon! here is the video: Plane transit 12-2-17 1724pm.mp4

Date: 12-2-17

Time: 17:24 MDT

Camera: Samsung Galaxy SIII

Telescope: Meade ETX 90

Moon Phase: 99.6% Waxing

Still something I don't see that often, despite the appalling amount of air traffic over my local skies!
