Buck Moon Airplane Transit: A Celestial Encounter

This stunning photograph captures a rare and beautiful moment: an airplane transiting across the face of the Buck Moon. The full moon, affectionately known as the Buck Moon, earns its name from Native American traditions, signifying the time when the antlers of male deer are in their full glory.

This original image was captured using a Gskyer AZ90600 telescope and an iPhone 14. The post-processing, which included enhancing the glow and adjusting curves and contrast, was skillfully done using Procreate. The photographer describes the serendipitous nature of this shot, a moment of panic turning into delight when they realized the shutter had been clicked at precisely the right instant.
