TPF Noob!
It does not happen often but when the stars align (moon in this case) things can work out.

So here is the story on the "Moon - Airtran" shot.
Forgive the pilot jargon - If you need a translation please ask.
We are heading back from Dobbins AFB today and cruising at FL320. On TCAS we could see that we would be overtaking a jet that was up at FL360. There was a beautiful contrail we were following for quite some time. We requested FL340 from Memphis center and continued to cruise ahead. It just so happened that the moon was set up perfect for the shoot. We pulled the throttles back a touch and followed him for about half an hour. I think I got around 400+ shots with only a few keepers. When you are shooting through 1.5 inches of glass the parallax is terrible.
However - The result I think worked out.
