Stars on a Plane

Here are some pics of the stars as seen from the window seat of a Boeing 777 flying between Brisbane and Dubai.

The first one is of Scorpius setting viewed from on the Equator west of Sumatra.

The second one is of the Southern Cross over the Indian Ocean soon after sunset.

The third one is of Crux from over the Great Australian Bight.

The fourth one is Crux just before dawn north of Adelaide.

The last one is of the view of Crux inside the aircraft .

All were taken with a Canon EOS 600D, 15-85mm lens at f/3.5, ISO 6400 with exposures ranging from 4 to 10 seconds (camera held up against window and jumper used to block internal reflections as much as possible).

Thanks for looking,

Tom
