Starry Flight
While cruising at 35'000 ft over Barcelona and discussing constellations with my first officer, I noticed Cygnus setting in the NW. So I decided to try to capture the hardly discernable Milky Way.
Due to aerodynamic oscillations (called "Duch Roll"), which are normal for an aircraft with swept wings, it is nearly impossible to capture stars as points out of an aircraft. Nevertheless, I am quite happy with this shot.
It shows Milky Way around the constellations Cygnus (on the horizon) and Cassiopeia (in the middle). You can also see Andromeda Galaxy on the very left side, just above the middle of the frame.
The brownish-red haze on the horizon is light pollution from Barcelona reflecting off some very thin stratospheric clouds.
