Hellishly lucky!

The longest lens on my camera is 1200mm, which will fill the frame with a large aircraft a mile or so away. It's not much short of a miracle if I can keep tracking an aeroplane accuratelyat anything much beyond that - and that has a viewfinder, and I've been taking photographs like that (and before that was a pretty good rifle shot on the range) for several decades.
