Think I've got most technical issues solved in shooting earth and sky with my new Sony A7s while at altitude.

Clipping along at 950km/hr does cause slight trailing of ground lights, however a simple cowl mounted bracket seems to work well and produces pleasing star images...provided there is no turbulence.

Taken above Abilene Texas, here is a typical result. (http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/officewindow/AboveAbilene.html)

Very cool shot. Expensive mount though.

US$414 mil? I'm guessing a double decker piece of eurotrash?

Sorry, I fail the see any relevance or humor there. Or was that simply an insult due ignorance ?
