Cosmic Touch

An Attempt for Astro Landscape : Our Galactic Core from Assam, India
Under the canopy of a moonless night, I embarked on my latest astrophotography adventure. Armed with my trusty camera, a tripod and an equatorial mount, I ventured into the wilderness to capture the wonders of the cosmos.

The Milky Way, a luminous river of stars and cosmic dust, stretched across the night sky, casting its ethereal glow upon the landscape. My heart raced with excitement as I set up my equipment, knowing that tonight held the promise of a remarkable shot.
Although I couldn't see it so vividly with my naked eyes, I attempted to capture the myriad colors and brightness of thousands of stars separately on the digital screen, just as I had desired through the camera's lens. I made an effort to connect with the outer world through this endeavor with the machine.

We the Dark Sky lovers of West Bengal in India as "Astronomads Bangla" continuously trying to spread Scientific & environment friendly thinking in this Planet Earth through Astropphotography and also learning by self.
