Description:

It was my second night at the campsite, the temperatures were subzero, hope fully I had my MH100 tent from @decathlonsportsindia. I had planned to take a close up Milkyway shot but to click this image, I truly had to push my limits to the extreme. I was staying outside for 30 minutes in the extreme cold temperatures without adequate protection as I had lost my jacket. And also this was the longest exposure I have taken using my camera and my @moveshootmove tracker. After taking a single exposure shots, I almost shouted out of joy, in middle of nowhere. I never thought I could capture such details, like the other renowned astrophotographers. I had captured so many nebulae and my favorite Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. The sky was almost Bortle 1. The nearest human signs were 50kms away. But taking the RAW images was just the beginning, It took me almost 6 hours to stack and process all the data. Here's the final result. A 30 minute exposure of Milky Way!
