Fly Me to the Moon — Twice!

Those darn airplanes that leave their contrails and ruin a good astrophoto….except, wait! This one is awesome! From John Chumack’s vantage point earlier this month, two aircraft met up in the sky to fly across the waxing gibbous Moon. John provided a cropped inset to make it easier for all to see the jets. Great capture, John!

John’s details: captured on 01-06-2012 at 17:47pm E.S.T.
Canon Rebel Xsi DSLR & 300mm Lens @ F8, ISO 400,
1/800 second exposure
