We had an in-person astronomy meeting at the Vanderbilt Planetarium tonight. I arrived early and when I got out of my car, saw a beautiful crescent moon in the western sky. But it was over a dark line of trees - not an interesting composition at all. But... I remembered this tree at the far end of the parking lot, so grabbed my camera and my 70-200mm lens out of the trunk and headed over toward the tree. Look what I saw as I got closer to the tree! Perfect! So I started shooting a few frames, and suddenly I noticed an airline jet climbing away, traveling from the west - probably from JFK. I had a chance to shoot two frames with the aircraft in it. I am not sure if the airplane matters, but it was there, so I decided to choose this frame.

Thought the plane was a large hawk until I enlarged your photo. I saw the crescent moon last night and thought of you :-) betsey
The moon is so bright and beautiful. Interesting how you caught the plane in the photo. It is so small in the night sky. Trace
