I shot a jet trasiting in front of the Super Moon =)

My best regular shot at it too:

Just like the last two times I wasn't expecting to have a plane jump in front of my moon shots, they just seem to happen that way! First time I thought it was one in a million, now I guess I am just crazy lucky!!!

I'm in total awe of this one tho!

My full set from tonight, trying to lock in focus was a pain!

Wow Sam, those are amazing!I'm used to seeing the shot info on Flickr. What lens were you using and how high is the iso? There is no noise to speak of that I could see.

Just click on the link to the camera link (Nikon D300) on the right side of the page with the individual photo, and it'll show you the meta data for the photo itself.  It looks like a 400mm lens at ISO 400.

Yup, it's my 1972 era vivitar 400mm f5.6 manual focus lens in nikon f mount. Best $25 I ever spent (back in 1986!!!).

Once I sell my house I'm thinking of saving up for the 400mm F2.8 VR2 lens for about $10k. Now THAT will be an upgrade eh? smiley_wink.gif

Nice shots, Sam! The moon didn't look that impressive here on Saturday night, so I left my camera in the bag. frown.gif

Thank you all for the kind words. Luna is one of my favorite subjects!
