Eric, looking at the image it looks like the camera has focussed on the moon not the aircraft. I dont know what you had your AF focus point on but I guess it was not the moon, but I might be completely off on this.

I think you are slightly missing the point as beyond infinity everything is in sharp focus so both should be in focus and it must be movement of the plane and not even Eric shake!

Surely even "Trekkers" can't go beyond infinity Eric shake would have blurred the moon? Plane movement would have blurred the leading and trailing edges only. I am guessing that the photo was taken by a long focal length lens and the focus field fell beyond the plane.

I'm not sure there is a lack of sharpness, I think the lack of contrast between the aircraft and the sky is being interpreted as a lack of sharpness. Looking at the contrails they are sharp and they must be on, or very near, the same plane as the aircraft.

I am surprised no one has questioned whether they were two images.  With only 700mm I would never achieve that level of foreshortening ....the plane was too small (37,000 feet!) as it passed the moon. I sectionally enlarged the plane (+ contrails) and streeetched them relative to the moon. So the loss of detail in the plane is mainly over enlargement....but a silver body in a blue sky didn't help with definition.

Carrying on my unhealthy obsession with ornithological ablutions, the Blackcap came for complete immersion therapy ....requiring a good deal of dehydration afterwards. 1/250th @f11 2000iso (as the sun went in 😡) Click here to comment on this image.
