"lucky" as in you have to have clear undisturbed air between you and the object at exactly the correct time there is enough light reflecting off it. also someone on dark HALF of the planet since they were only in close proximity of the moon for a few hours. afaict you couldve pulled this off if you had a nice 12" telescope and good camera in a place FAR away from any light pollution AND clear skies somewhere in Europe or Africa on the night of April 6th. but it's not going to be easy and its not suspicious that you can't easily find one.
