Milky Way Timelapse - Jaubari

Milky Way timelapses are a timeless way to capture the natural beauty of our galaxy. Milky Way photographs, either stacked or single, can only capture a single moment in time. Whereas a timelapse can provide a real sense of how large and beautiful the band looks as it crosses the night sky in video format. Discover what gear you need, what settings to use for Milky Way time-lapse videos, and tips for how to create a time-lapse.

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.

Nirmal - Star Trails

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.

Nirmal - Chasing the Milky Way & Meteors

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.
