The first KC-390 visit to Finland
Something different. What do you do when waiting for your friends' flight? An experiment with 17 separate images....an idea to be worked on for the future! And it might be better to use fewer images too.
Saturday morning seemed to be the best time for the Moon (now nearly directly overhead this time of year) to align nicely with the nearby flight route. But, by the time the morning flights were overhead (6:45 a.m. or so), the Moon was already too far west. The Moon rises about an hour later each day, so Sunday would be the day.
Enter daylight savings time. It effectively nullified the hour shift I was hoping for. (It also caused 8-year-old Lauren to wake up at 5 a.m., but that's a different story.) The first plane, again at 6:45 a.m., was to the East of the Moon, just like Saturday morning.
As a general rule, I don't chase the plane transits. They've all been captured from my driveway. But I could see on FlightRadar24 that there were three more planes tucked into the route, so Lauren and I started driving East. The following two planes were still too far East, but 2 miles from home, we caught this transit.
This is American Eagle flight 3660, operated by Envoy, passing in front of the Third Quarter Moon, seen from the Space Coast of Florida. The Embraer E175LR was traveling from Charleston (CHS) to Miami (MIA) at 36,000 feet and 462 knots.
I want to say that I had a magic formula to tell me exactly where to stand, but there's a bunch of luck involved here. Afterward, Lauren declared that she was my "lucky charm." Also, Lauren firmly believed this was the frame to post; I favored the next frame, but she was right.
Shout out to John Kraus for his consultative advice with the post-processing, and, for the record, he agreed with Lauren that this was the frame to post, not the one after. If you aren't following him, you should be.
