Below are a couple of shots of the moon taken with a Canon 350d and a 250mm lens.

Thanks for looking.

Is that a VC10 Tanker in the first shot?

[mcspreader]

To be honest, I don't know. I just saw a plane flying in the right general direction and fired off a few shots.

I'm pretty sure its a VC10 .. the shapes right and the colour scheme is "military" and I think it has the AAR pods under the wings...

Good Capture

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the confirmation on the plane and I love your photograph. Those vapour trails look like that they're going each side of the moon.

All the best

Either you live in the right place, you're very lucky or you have endless patience! I live between Heathrow and Gatwick and have never seen a plane cross the moon. You picked up several and they're all fantastic!

Was yours the shot in S@N this month?

nice pic I would love to capture one. Just getting to grips with my first dslr a cannon 550d cant wait to combine with my scope on dark nights.

Hi All....thanks for all your comments. the pic was mine in A S...& was taken at heathrow. The one of the moon setting was taken about 20 miles from bristol airport. i want to improve on these before posting any more, tho i have seen better on the internet, taken by some chap with a dobsonian.

cheers

Wow, a VC10, i'd expect the ubiquitous 737/747/757/767/777. Good spot.
