Airbus Over the Moon......easy does it!

[cloudbuster]

evenin all

ive been a long time away from DSO imaging....something that i have since given up, but i have returned to using my trusty canon camera for lunar imaging. anyhow, i went up to ashton court estate yesterday to walk the dogs, only to return a couple of hours later to grab this shot. i knew before hand that there was a good chance of imaging a plane transiting the moon, but had to wait over 3 hours in the cold for it to finally happen.....and yes i was very lucky! so here it is......an easy jet airbus a320 making a dog leg high above bristol set against a rising moon!

please feel free to comment.....good or bad.

thanks for looking

cheers

Awesome... but the plane is not quite OVER the moon.... almost tho...

Obviously patience paid off--very nice.

You could sell the image to EasyJet for their advertising.
