Photographer's Note
Milky way clouds taken with a tracker which tracked the rotation of Earth. Exposure time 10 minutes.Lower middle of image shows constellation saggitarius and the centre of the milky way is upper centre. Diffrent nebulae and gas clouds are visible
You can see the distortion at the edges in the picture because of the lens.

Not a common thing on TE but common in our lifes. From big cities (and some small) the milky way isn't visible at all --a problem of cibvilization and electricity.
Are you an astronomer or an amateur?

Very nice shot, I take some astronomic photos but I never think to put it on TE! This one is very nice and very clear. What kind of tripod to follow the earth mouvement have you used? Very clear and very dark : congratulations.

Very nice capture... I'd already tried to take astronomic photos but I'd had the same problems like jürgen and set...
Great job!
Best regards,

That's amazing. I consider astronomy to be a hobby of mine; clearly I should think about combining it with photography based on your photo. The tracker tool you used is excellent. Great job.

This is beautiful Chander. I always admire astronomic photos, looking beyond our planet earth. The colours are very pretty and the stars and clouds can be seen very clearly. Excellent work!
