Bright, partially (cloud-) obscured Moon

  • eugenius by eugenius

    The Moon looks much brighter than I have seen it in other images, even
    though here it is partially obscured. The increased sensitivity is nice, though,
    as one can see the (twilight or moon-?) lit horizon and landscape.

    The 'moon' may be a flying insect.

    Ah, but if you have the time, date and camera facing direction and and location, that can be checked.
    If an insect, it bears an interesting resemblance to a fully illuminated passenger jet, but I suspect
    that's not likely!

    Planes are not usually lit up like that, they have position lights and (maybe) some lights from the windows. I'd second the idea of it being an insect in flight that is reflecting the flash from the camera.
