That’s pretty neat @AstroParticles. When did you capture this image and can you provide details?

Nice photo
May i know which bortle scale was this captured from?

Yes. I captured this image from South Chennai. Didn’t use a DSLR. Used a phone camera to capture this image. 30 RAW light frames. 0 dark frames. Post processing in Siril and Gimp.

Bortle 7 to 8. It was difficult to see Milky Way in a single exposure. So stacked 30 such frames.

Good one especially because it was captured from within the city. Did you do background extraction in Siril?

Yes I used background extraction from Siril
