That makes sense to me, I'd be very pleasantly surprised if it's a straightforward single image, especially (as you say) given the magnitude of stars he/she has captured I would have thought the wing and winglet would have been overexposed.
In any event and FWIW after a bit of research the star field has the brighter stars of Sagittarius above the wingtip and the Lagoon nebula (M8) off to the RHS.
In any event in the context of this thread I don't think the image is representative of the naked eye view you'll ever get from an airliner ( cabin or flight deck), since a significant number of the stars/nebula shown are so dim they'd be invisible to the naked eye, even from a perfect sight at ground level. Checking against a star catalogue a lot of the stars imaged are down to magnitude 8 or dimmer and would be invisible to the naked eye ( mag 6 is generally considered the naked eye limit) - no wonder the imaged sky looks full of stars
Nevertheless it's a nice pic.
