Last night I flew home to EU from NZ. We had a nonstop Auckland-Dubai flight which passed over Singapore. At that time I saw Crux and the pointers low in the South, and took pics of 4 and 6 seconds. I put the 6D + 24-70L at f/4 and ISO 6400 in the very rear door window of the A380.
The foreground is blurred due to a fresnel lens on the bottom half of the window door.
The stars are a bit stripy due to slight turbulence of the plane.

What a magical sight that must've been to see, especially the Southern Cross! I can even make out the Coal Sack easily. A few years ago, Colin Legg managed to image a whole heap of meteors from the Centaurids meteor shower at that height, that was pretty cool too.
Great to see this, nice work :).
