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.

Fantastic work, I wish I was able to take such pics myself :D I love those orange clouds.

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,
Patrick

C'est un monde extraordinaire devant lequel nous restons admiratifs. Merci pour cette photo.

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!

Captivating shot of the outer space...

Hi Chander, An excellent celestial capture. Good note and colours also. Well done. Murray.

way to go sir.
Yet, pardon me for my ignorance but do you hook camera to the end of your telescope or does your telescope feed you the still which is later cropped on a comp?
