After spending many hours checking flight routes, moon phases, and the movement of the cosmos throughout the night, I worked out that around 00:00 GMT would be the best time for me to try and shoot the Milky Way from a flight I'd booked.

@MichaelPorter @megsouth Thanks, although my camera did a lot of the heavy lifting. It's 16 seconds' worth of shots. The camera takes 8 shots at 2 seconds exposure in quick succession and then stacks them together.
The IBIS on OM System cameras are really amazing!

@Howard @Michigander Very nice!
@mlanger @Michigander Thank you so much, Maria. 🫶

Extraordinary photo!
@ScruffyJunco @LifeTimeCooking Thanks, Scout. I'm just glad I had something to show for all the planning I did! 🫶 Glad you like it.

@Howard absolute belter
@coldclimate Thanks, coldclimate! 🫶I'm glad you enjoyed the shot. Not the cleanest due to stupid dirty window near the wing tip, but at least the galactic core is clear.

@Howard amazing. Stunning. Mind blown!
@Reinald Thank you so much, Reinald! I didn't think I could pull it off, but so happy it all worked out!

@Howard @Michigander Thank you for sharing such a great image.

@Howard Oh. My. God. I wonder if you are the first person to ever do this on a regular commercial flight.
@RachelThornSub Thank you, Professor Thorn. 🫶 I'm glad you like it. I'm sure I can't be the only person to have wanted to shoot the Milky Way from a plane though. But probably not shown very often due to how many moving parts there are to trying such a shot?
If you look closely at this shot, you can see some blurry bits near the wingtip due to some dirt / ice on the window. But thankfully it doesn't obscure the actual galactic core.

@Howard It's an amazing shot, and it's amazing you were able to do it with all the constant vibration of a flying plane.

@Howard my dude, it's a photo of the freaking Milky Way taken from a freaking jet doing 500mph. It's astoundingly
