Notes:

DL1220 Seattle to Fairbanks. A dim satellite streaks by on the upper left, on the upper right corner is the Andromeda Galaxy M31, with Aurora Borealis on the horizon. A bit of the northern lights is reflected on the slats. Just crossed from British Colombia into Alaska, near Ketchikan.

I was wondering how could you stabled your camera during the flight?

Hi Steven Ma, I use a small flexible tripod, and chose a seat where the armrest lines up with the window. I then mount the camera onto the tripod which goes on the armrest. I also cut out an oval black paper into the shape/dimensions of the CSeries/A220 window and cut a hole to fit my lens through, this blocks window reflections and helps stabilize it as well when the paper is a perfect fit for the window.
