I have been through every technique known to me related to
low-light photography over past horrifying 55 minutes. Before that I spent 30
minutes admiring what's outside my window. I knew this was not easily possible,
but wanted to take a go anyways.

| With this, I thought I saw it all... |
I am typing this at 39,000 feet on way from Vegas to east
coast in middle of the night. Scene that my eyes can enjoy can't be described
but here is an attempt. I can see sporadic but organized city lights below. So
in essence there is absolutely no light pollution. Beauty of what a marvel human
eye is, I can also make out the thin line of horizon and from there starts the
amazing sprinkle of stars.
I had a blanket over my head and my eyes glued to the window
glass to ignore slightest of the cabin light. I am sure; people inside the
cabin must be wondering what this guy is up to. Moment I have blanket over my
head, trust me this random spread of constellations and beauty that it presents
can loads better than dozens of Vegas put together. It’s funny that 3 hours
back when this flight took off, I was thinking, I have witnessed the finest
show of lights available to human, and then Someone can prove you wrong in a jiffy.

| View I couldn't capture, but will keep looking.. |
I tried every attempt and camera technique possible, so that
I could share this with Seema, but very minor luck. All I got on my camera is dozens of black squares. So here just a page to record that post seeing the brightest, and
probably the fanciest show on earth, I
still believe one has to keep looking for the next show, that will mesmerize
our eyes and refresh your mind again ….
