The Galactic Bridge.

Author: Basudeb Chakrabarti, Soumyadeep Mukherjee

Location: Hanle, India

Both me and Basudeb had this shot planned when we left for the Ladakh trip. We tried it at Pangong, but without success. Finally at Hanle, under the pristine dark sky, we tried again, and this time we were able to do it. An almost 180° sky with the long galactic arm spreading across from horizon to horizon.
