This prop plane flew right across the moon as I was manually focusing on the moon itself. Lucky for me the focus was a little short: Not a bad shot of the plane! This will be the largest full moon of the year. The moon is nearer now than it will be at the time of any other full moon this year. Perhaps if the moon was not so large, the plane would not have fit so well within it in this shot! This lucky shot was re-published on Spaceweather.com, here. Canon XTi, Nikkor 300mm 1:4.5, ISO 1600, 1/3200 seconds.
