There is a spot of dust on your camera's CCD, lower right of the frame.

I have this problem too; I sent my camera for cleaning twice and the dust spots still come back.

@Xisla isn`t that the aircraft window you mean? cant see spot of dust on it!?

[Xisla]

@DAIRX Looks like the spot is fixed; it's not moving with the window.

It's easy to check - just zoom your camera to max, use smallest aperture (if you have manual control), or point at the sky (automatic smallest aperture) and look at the lower right of the screen.

@Xisla I ll check that, th@nks!

I've never figured out how an aircraft known for one of the longest, slowest takeoff rolls, not to mention one of the slowest climb rates, can operate out of SXM nonstop to Paris and clear those gigantic mountains at the end of the runway...do they shrink the amount of seats available on the routes or what...a typical A340 takeoff uses up more runway than a 747.

Gab es bei dem Flug keinen Zwischenstopp? Die rwy is doch eig. zu kurz um direkt von St Martin nach Paris zu fliegen
