2026 is already shaping up beautifully as I finally get to explore the darkest sites of Chhattisgarh. locations I had mapped out years ago. It’s one of the rare places in Central India where skies can reach near Bortle 2 zone, offering truly pristine conditions. All shots were captured using my Sony astro-modified A7III, generously gifted by Vikas Chander. wanted to capture this particular frame of rho ophiuchi cloud complex. this just 2hr 48 min of data. will more in future.
Recently i bought the official copy of Pixnsight and this image is processed in pixinsight plus little bit of retouching in photoshop.
