However, an approaching airplane need not ruin or shorten the exposure. As the plane approaches the camera's field of view just put a black sheet of paper in front of (but not touching) the lens. Once the plane is gone pull the paper out of the way. I've used this trick many times. Works great.
Only if you are either not guiding or using the autoguider. If you are guiding manually you probably won't notice it in time. Sometimes another observer can act as "lookout" and give you some warning. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
