Anyone a fan of airborne naked eye astronomy? I had a beautiful view last night of Venus and the infant moon when flying from Lisbon to London on a tap air Portugal plane.due to the cabin lights you have to restrict yourself to bright objects and, it goes without saying!, get a window seat.here's my tips.wear a hooded top and you can use the hood to block out some cabin light.many of the self check in machines allow you to select a seat.so if you know Venus is in the west and you know the plane is headed north east then select a seat on the planes left by a window. On long overnight flights they dim the cabin lights so you can get great views of the stars,I remember flying with Iberia from Rio de Janeiro to Madrid and looking south at Scorpius at 37000'.
