Last evening was cool and windy. The clouds were moving swiftly Southward. The clouds would part for a time and the moon would turn a brilliant white. I was watching for the jets coming out of the North when suddenly a jet streaked past heading South. I quickly shot two frames, the second only catching chem trail. I was likewise not in the best of focus for with the manual 180mm lens, if you do not constantly correct focus, it will creep off sharpness. One would think at infinity it would remain sharp, but not so. In addition, the shutter speed in my laziness was set at 125, the edge of capturing a moving object without blur. All in all, considering the hours I sit and watch the skies for the just right intersection of plane, bird, UFO or satellite with the moon, not too bad. I was especially pleased with the red light captured on the body of the jet.
