Due to the glare of the sun opposite the moon, I was not able to focus well. My subject was the waxing gibbous moon and I was not fast enough to capture the helicopter and moon even closer, by the time I click, the helicopter had zoomed past the moon. Nevertheless I was satisfied with what I had got in one frame. The moon was 83.8% full and distance was 363,292 km away from Earth. Being the June Solstice today, the weather is hot and humid and it was a day moon here.
