I captured this a while ago from Pangong Tso, Ladakh, India. (Bortle 1). The red splotches in the image are H-Alpha nebulae. You can see quite a bit of them here. Given I was using a stock DSLR, I had relatively low expectations for this, as a stock DSLR can’t pick up the H-Alpha as well as a modified DSLR. I still managed to pull out the prominent H-alpha from Cygnus despite that. (Dark skies help)
* Gear Used: Canon EOS 600D (Stock), Canon 28-80mm lens (Old film kit lens) , sturdy tripod
* Settings: F/3.5, ISO 6400, 8sec shutter speed.
* Integration: 10 minutes. 8x75seconds
* Stacked In Sequator, SIRIL for background extraction and colour calibration, GIMP for post processing, Topaz AI denoise for denoising.

Look at all those stars. Imagine the possibilities of the planets orbiting them.
