Night Flight
Shooting Milky Way out of a flying aircraft is always a challenge. To be successful, you need smooth conditions, the correct flight path and good timing. In other words, you need lots of luck, as most of this is out of the photographers control...
This image was such a lucky moment. At 36'000ft, over Korinthos in Greece, while heading home from a Cairo night turnaround flight. I was able to capture Milky Way in the constellation Cygnus.
Despite the good flight conditions, I only got 3 exposures with pinpoint stars, out of a sequence of roghly 200 shots. Yes it is that difficult. As it was my lucky night, One of these 3 exposures also captured a shooting star...
