First I needed the moon close to full, second I  needed it at sunset to have enough light to have a fast shutter speed to  freeze the plane. Third I needed an airliner right on cue with a good  contrail behind it that just happens to hit the moon dead centre and be  far enough away to be in focus with the moon (I don&rsquo;t ask for much!).  Third I need the right set up with was a Canon 600mm F4 lens with 1.4x  teleconverter attached to a Canon 40D with the whole setup on a Gitzo  1348 carbon tripod with wimberley gimbal head. Lastly trying not to get a  shaky hand with the excitment of seeing that airline streaking across  the moon!
