In 2003 I was experimenting with double exposures with my canon film camera Elan. While I was at Hickam AFB, HI, I came across a scene of something I wanted to photograph and saw that the moon was full and a C-5 aircraft in front of me so I decided to give it a try. Using a manfrotto tripod for each exposure, my first exposure I shot the moon at 125 @ f16 with my canon zoom 75-300 mm and second exposure I shot the C-5 aircraft at 30 seconds @ f9.5 with a canon 24-85 mm zoom as I recorded the exposures for future reference. It was difficult placing the moon where I wanted it to go on the frame but I did manage to place it over the aircraft and center which was most likely beginners luck using a film camera. Since 1970 all the C-5 cargo hauler's combined most likely carried the weight of the moon for the military. Film was Fuji Supera 100 @ rated at 80 ISO and scanned at a camera store.
