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.
