On sunday 23 may I captured this Qantas Airbus A380 flying high over Ommen. I think it's the London Heathrow - Sydney flight. It was heading west to east. Anyone for the registration?

Hi David

I really cannot give you any tips. Just check the position of the moon and if there's any traffic around, cross your fingers and hope it will fly through it!
However keep one finger left to push the button otherwise you will miss it anyhow. :D With an average airspeed of 900-1000 km/h it's just a blink of an eye.
If you live nearby a busy airway you could position yourself in a way the chance of a moonshot will increase. No doubt if you keep trying, one day
you'll get one!

Good luck!

Rob
