Seeing as Ben posted a shot of the moon over his house, I decided to snap one of my own. I caught I tiny surprise in it...an aircraft....pic was taken from the houses balcony with a 4 Mega Pixel Canon....at full digital zoom....even I was surprised at the quality. I had to make it all uneven because the rest was just plain duskish sky....hope you enjoy!!

...

Cheers all,
Ashar

gotta be an MD-80 or Fokker 100, becuase of the elevators, they're on the top of the tail, which must mean the engines are at the tail. as for airline, hmm, united, MABYE american. or spirit, although the colors are dark.

Beautiful shot!

I don't think so, Ramos. That thing sticking out of the tail is part of the left wing. Parallel to that is the horizontal stabilizer. Plus if you look towards the bottom of the aircraft by the bright spot (probably a nav light) you can see a rounded object, most likely an engine. Wink

Besides, I don't think an US regional jet would be mulling about in Italy. Roll Eyes Grin

Spectacular shot! Its a shame you were stuck with sub-par equipment. Now if you had a D-SLR (maybe a Canon 8MP) with a supertelephoto lens, then that'd be publication-worthy.

In fact, it is publication-worthy right now. Shocked

Uhh, no.  It definitely looks like a 737 or something similar like a A320.  My vote is for 737.  I've seen many 737s from the ground and air-to-air and this seems to resemble a 737 type aircraft.  You are mistaking the other wing for a T-tail. Look at the lower portion of the aircraft and you will see a horizontal stabilizer below the tail.  I don't know of any aircraft that would have two sets of horizontal stabilizers.  Also, notice the light around the mid section.  737 classics have a light on the fuselage right over the wings which seems to be where this light is located.   

I'm curious though.  How did you get this kind of angle on the aircraft?  Your vantage point seems to be above and to the left of the aircraft.  ???  Was it turning or something??   ???
