You gotta send that one off.

Captain Chaos

That really is some picture. Seen a few like that but that one is the best by far. Great clarity and fantastic view of the aircraft. Top pic CC!

You did well to see that one coming 8)

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

No no no!

I didn't see it coming and THEN set up to snap it.

I was imaging the moon during the day as clouds were over the sun. I saw the plane coming as I was watching for clouds getting in front of the moon and crossed my fingers that it would show up. It did, luckily.

Lucky shot or not - its a belter

Actually had me wondering whether I should use Starry Night to check Moon positions over Exeter airport 8)

[Caz]

The plane almost looks ghost like.... Well captured CC 8)

Very impressive mate.

The definitic#ve case of being at the right place at the right time (and looking in the right direction )

Stunning CC!!! Out of interest how come the video is wmv rather than avi?

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Because a WMV is much smaller and easier to download as a result.

Hey CC,

Reminds me that there was a song named "Fly me to the Moon". Frank Sinatra 1964 on the (It might as well be Spring) album. A well known song by folks in the US. I wasn't that much of a fan of FS. But, do remember this being a hit song of his.

Nice catch...
