A ONCE-IN-A-MILLION DOUBLE TRANSIT?
Astro-photography is all about patience, but sometimes the aviation gods give you a moment that leaves you absolutely breathless! Yesterday in Rillaar, in broad daylight around 18:36, I captured the ultimate holy grail: a simultaneous Double Moon Transit! 🌕✈️✈️
Two aircraft flying in the exact same direction, on the same airway, crossing the moon just 1 second apart as they streak to the left! Thanks to Transit Chaser, I saw them counting down together, and my reflexes did the rest.
• Jet2 flight EXS79NX (Boeing 737-800) ✈️
• Aegean Airlines flight AEE3LG (Airbus A321neo) ✈️
The conditions were incredibly challenging. Fast-moving layers of white and grey daylight clouds made it impossible to get a perfectly sharp shot, creating a lot of soft blur and atmospheric noise. But despite the low sharpness caused by the rushing weather, the sheer rarity of capturing both silhouettes side by side, with their massive contrails cutting through the clouds, is pure magic!
A massive thank you to Transit Chaser. This is a tracking win I will never forget!

It predicts solar & lunar plane transits early and much more.

I spent the past 3 years building a way to capture moments like these. ✈️☀️🌙
Getting a plane perfectly lined up with the Sun or Moon used to involve hours of planning, waiting around, and a whole lot of luck.
So I built Transit Chaser.
It’s a free web app that predicts airplane transits across the Sun and Moon, and now it even comes with a 3D visualizer so you can see the predicted flight path before it happens.
Three years of work, and I’m pretty excited to finally show you what it can do.

Would you rather photograph a plane crossing the Sun or the Moon? 👀

☀️ A sunspot surprise revealed — swipe to discover!
A little optical journey across the Sun!
Making this solar encounter even more special… BAW61XM crossing the face of the Sun, right alongside our little solar visitor. ✈️
Sometimes nature has a sense of humour… Meet the Transitchaser! 😉

Sometimes the most rewarding captures happen when you least expect them. 🌤️✈️🌕
After an entire day hidden behind a thick blanket of clouds, the Sun suddenly made a brief appearance around 2:30 PM. A faint, almost invisible glow between the clouds – and perhaps no more than fifteen minutes of opportunity.
I quickly fired up TransitChaser on my iPad and noticed a Ryanair flight approaching with a predicted deviation of just 0.2°.
There was no time to waste. Three minutes to get my camera outside, set up and focused – without a solar filter, given the heavily clouded conditions.
And then… there it was. A Ryanair Boeing 737 crossing the faintly illuminated Sun, captured in circumstances I would never have expected at the start of the day.
Sometimes all you need is a tiny window of opportunity, a little preparation and a bit of luck.
An unexpected transit, and an incredibly satisfying capture!

Pegasus Airlines | Istanbul ✈️ Manchester | Chasing the invisible Moon 🌙
Some transits are simply harder to capture than others…
This morning, around 10 AM, a Pegasus Airlines flight from Istanbul to Manchester crossed the Moon. A Moon already invisible to the naked eye, hidden behind a challenging blanket of clouds, making this capture a real test of patience, timing and persistence.
But sometimes the hardest shots are the most rewarding. A brief glimpse through the clouds, the aircraft perfectly positioned, and another fleeting celestial encounter captured, one final opportunity in this particular phase of the lunar cycle.
A real challenge, but oh, so satisfying!

A prediction of 0.0°… and right on target! ☀️✈️
Today at 3 PM, Ryanair flight RYR74TN crossed the face of the Sun in an almost unbelievable alignment.
The TransitChaser app predicted a deviation of exactly 0.0° — and this photograph speaks for itself. The aircraft is positioned practically dead centre on the solar disc. It hardly gets any more precise than this!
A remarkable demonstration of just how accurate the predictions of TransitChaser can be.
And there’s more exciting news: the developer of the app, Rey Sandu Godakumbura from New Zealand, has a dedicated mobile version ready for launch in the coming days. Something to look forward to!
Hats off to Rey for making these extraordinary moments easier to predict and capture! 👏

Conseguir estas fotos requiere paciencia… mucha paciencia. 😅
Puedes pasarte horas con la cámara lista y no conseguir nada. O ver el tránsito perfecto justo el día que dejaste la cámara en casa.
Para proteger mi salud mental, ahora uso @transitchaser, que me avisa cuando puede ocurrir uno.
Ahora solo falta que el clima coopere. 😭

Another day, another collection of aviation moments against the Sun! ☀️✈️
Five different aircraft, five unique silhouettes and some beautiful moments captured against our closest star.
Today’s line-up:
✈️ SriLankan Airlines – ALK506 (London – Colombo)
✈️ easyJet – EZY79UL (London Gatwick – Kraków)
✈️ Lufthansa City Airlines – LHX2516 (Munich – Dublin)
✈️ TAP Air Portugal – TAP57CH
✈️ Transavia – TRA11T (Amsterdam – Porto)
From tiny silhouettes to perfectly defined aircraft crossings, every transit has its own character.
Patience, timing and a little help from TransitChaser. Another rewarding day chasing the Sun! ☀️

A few close encounters with the Moon today! 🌙✈️
Some made it across, others came surprisingly close. Today’s Moon transits were definitely on the narrow side, but that’s part of the thrill of chasing these fleeting moments. A little closer than yesterday, perhaps! 😉
Featuring flights from:
✈️ Jettime – JTD237 (Copenhagen – Las Palmas)
✈️ Brussels Airlines – BEL7NL (Geneva – Brussels)
✈️ Norwegian Air Sweden – NSZ8DS
✈️ Ryanair – RYR2QD (Beauvais – Faro)
✈️ Turkish Airlines – THY0AG (Istanbul – London)
Another day of looking up, tracking, waiting and hoping for that perfect alignment. And once again, TransitChaser did a great job with its predictions!
