I would guess that the plane had flown 8 hrs towards Sydney (~ 4,300 miles from LA) so we were near American Samoa @ -10 deg. South Latitude.

Details:
My first Bucket List was to go down south to see the Southern Skies. Ive wanted to fill my first for some 35 yrs but due to my job and astro-friends who kept putting it off I couldnt until just this August 2012. We got on the plane to Sydney and flew south from L.A.
On the way there I looked hard out the port window to see if I can see any Constellation patterns. Well, I got my first ever view of the Magellanic Clouds from 32,000 ft. Yaay! Ive never seen such photo in Sky & Tel or Astronomy Mags. Canon Ti1, 3200 ISO, 15seconds @ 2.8 handheld
