Dark Skies of Gundala

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.

Multicoloured Star Trails

Continuing from last week, today is about photographing Multicoloured Star Trails on the Singalila Ridge. Late in March I had explored some dark sky sites at Nirmal, in collaboration with HyTiCos, but those were from Light Polluted areas. The Singalila Ridge in contrast is a Bortle 1 Sky which allows for some spectacular multi coloured star trails. Read to know how.

Spectacular locations often make for some spectacular photographic opportunities. These timelapses are from the Singalila Ridge - noted for its views of Kanchenjunga and Mount Everest - and feature the Kanchenjunga sleeping Buddha peaks. The Singalila National Park encompasses the ridge.
