Below you will find some pictures of airliners taken when the Moon or Sun had an interesting angle. They were intercepted with my Canon 300D/30D/7D 50-500 mm zoom lens (eventually with 2x TC) and have been taken at various locations near Brussels Airport. Date read as: day/month/year - hours in local times (CET). Pictures © SkyStef. |

cloudiness, besides a weak sunspot on the most right side, two
airplane can be detected: the biggest one on the left resembles the
