More moon-plane attempts this morning:
Giant plane taking off from the moon (series)
So close … (series)
I sat there for about an hour. Most planes did this or this, or flat out that.
The conditions have to be *just right*:
- East wind, otherwise the planes take a different route.
- Almost full moon, obviously, and no clouds.
- Around sunrise, or it gets too bright outside (moon too dim).
- The planes have to be at just the right distance (depends on where the moon is). They were already too close today. If they appear smaller than the moon, then this makes the moon look massively big, which makes for a more dramatic effect.
- I think it has to be summer. The full moon takes a different path in winter. Judging from what I see in stellarium, the best conditions could be right now in August. 🤔 The moon takes a similar path in April, if I’m not mistaken, but that’s way too early in the morning.
- (Don’t mess up your camera settings, you idiot.)
Also saw a hot air balloon.

@movq Wow man you're getting really good at taking these Moonplane photos 🤣

@movq Hell yeah, these are some real treasures! \o/ This is my favorite one. I like how the exhaust blends with the moon. And this is a great shot, too. Well done, mate! Some time well spent.
Just before going to bed yesterday I went outside to take a quick last look at Ursa Major. I wasn't even even standing five seconds there and I saw a meteor for barly half a second. Truly amazing!

@lyse @prologic Thanks!
Oh yes, the heat from the engines makes for some great effects. I was pretty surprised when I saw that yesterday.
> a quick last look at Ursa Major
Looking for the perseides? 🤔 I can’t look in that direction from here, unfortunately. Hey, I just saw a comet in stellarium! Close enough. 😂
