While I was walking the dog I noticed this beautiful contrail so I ran inside and grabbed my camera:

I then snapped a picture of the moon while waiting to see if any more contrails would come:

I guess if you were walking your dog, s/he's feeling better. ;)

I like the moon shot. Very sharp.

Both nice shots. Now if you superimposed them you may end up with an amazing pic.

Great how a contrail from a 4 engine jet looks so much cooler.

Thanks guys. :)

Here is what my settings where for the moon shot:

ISO: 400
Aperture: 4.5
Zoom: 400mm

The picture was really just a point and shoot!

I'm working on superimposing them. I will have a quick throwup in a second.
