Nirmal - Chasing the Milky Way

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 about 18 minutes past midnight we were also blessed by a brilliant meteor which lit up the sky for a split second. It was captured on a single frame of my timelapse and I have included that in this blog and video. The sky was brightened for that split second by the light from the falling meteor.
