Kantegaon Lake, in Boath Buzurg, offers a serene escape from city light pollution, providing a magnificent, unobstructed view of the cosmos. One can expect to see a sky full of shining stars and during its season, on clear nights, potentially the Milky Way.

Camping at the lakeside is a popular activity, allowing for a peaceful overnight stay in well-maintained, clean tents with cozy amenities. The experience is often complemented by a warm campfire and a barbecue dinner, where friends and family can share stories and laughter in a tranquil, natural environment. The quiet atmosphere of the lake, away from urban noise, ensures a truly relaxing retreat, with the soothing sounds of water and nature enhancing the experience. These organized camps even offer guided stargazing sessions with powerful telescopes and expert naturalists.

There are few views as awe-inspiring as seeing the Milky Way from a dark site. If someone unfamiliar with it sees a picture of the milky way without a terrestrial reference point, they might assume it was taken with a telescope. But the scale of the milky way is huge!

Once again in collaboration with HyTiCos I was at the Gond village of Gundala in north Telangana. The light pollution here is a Bortle 2 and allows for some beautiful views of the night sky. Read more in the Blog.

Continuing from last week, today is about photographing Star Trails at Nirmal. I explored some dark sky sites at Nirmal, in collaboration with HyTiCos, which could be leveraged for star gazing and astro photography. This location has spectacular naked eye visibility of some of the major constellations and is a prime location for Star Trails photography.

In the last week of February, in collaboration with HyTiCos, I had the opportunity to explore some areas in Telangana which could be leveraged as dark skies for star gazing and astro photography. This is a location in the district of Nirmal which has spectacular naked eye visibility of some of the major constellations and star clusters as you can see in this timelapse.

At 18 minutes past midnight we also saw and photographed a brilliant meteor which lit up the sky. In total 9 separate meteors were captured throughout the night which I have composited into a single image with the Milky Way. Read more in the Blog.

I am sure all of us have been in situations where we have gone out at night to a reasonably remote location and saw an incredibly beautiful night sky with millions of stars shining back at us, or even the beautiful arc of the Milky Way. It is possible to capture the Milky Way through light pollution by using a technique call Exposure To The Right, or ETTR. Read more…
