Description
While Flying to Barcelona from Boston (Ibera) , I noticed that the Atlantic Ocean was calm and extremely clear with no turbulence or clouds. In addition, we were flying against the rotation of the earth making the movement almost still.I peeped outside and saw the milky way and attempted 100 shots (that shows you how difficult it was to take this). Of all this, I got one photo.
15 seconds, Wedged against the seat and the window.
f2.8
iso 3200
@ 17mm
Cropped
I would later leave Spain the day before the General Strike not sitting on the window side and flying in the day. I'm thankful for my friend who gave me the window seat.

it was worth it - difficult enough with a tripod and on the ground - sounds almost impossible

It has a lot to do with the clarity of the sky. Its relatively easy to take this in Arizona at night. But almost impossible when you're moving. That's why I kept trying because I've never seen anything like this before, everything came together. Rotation of earth to the clarity of the sky.

I can't believe you took this shot on a plane, it's amazing.
You may have tried 100 times, but it was definitely worth it, congratulations
