Close, but not close enough.
Last night, seeking some quiet and something to do that took no energy I sat out at twilight, staring at the moon with camera ready. Ready for what?
For a one in ten-thousand chance that a passing airplane would pass directly in front of the moon and make a silhoutte. A few birds came by but they were too fast for me. Finally an airplane came NEAR. In desperation I snapped a picture.
The result is above: a half moon and way...way down in the lower left is a speck that was the airplane. I had to blow the image up immensely to capture even this...
It was not a bad way to spend an evening, and remember, even all of NASA's moonshots didn't work the first time.

The fact that knowing the story behind it gives it all the aspects of art. mark
I managed to actually somehow MISS the moon when I tried to photograph it the first time.... haven't tried since, either. getting the first snow of the year was a triumph for me.
