I sat there for about an hour. Most planes did this or this, or flat out that.

The conditions have to be just right:

  • East wind, otherwise the planes take a different route.
  • Almost full moon, obviously, and no clouds.
  • Around sunrise, or it gets too bright outside (moon too dim).
  • The planes have to be at just the right distance (depends on where the moon is). They were already too close today. If they appear smaller than the moon, then this makes the moon look massively big, which makes for a more dramatic effect.
  • I think it has to be summer. The full moon takes a different path in winter. Judging from what I see in stellarium, the best conditions could be right now in August. 🤔 The moon takes a similar path in April, if I’m not mistaken, but that’s way too early in the morning.
  • (Don’t mess up your camera settings, you idiot.)

Also saw a hot air balloon.
