It is not exactly a night scape shot but there is night sky and stars so posting it. Forgive if already posted on the hidden face thread.

Late September sky in Bela Balochistan with the roof of my cousin's house in the foreground illuminated with a flash light. Unprocessed shot 30 sec, iso 3200, f/3.5.

(Edit. I have posted the pic with reduced noise after some PP)

Amazing indeed. Hale-Bopp was a record breaking comet in many ways. I'm thankful that I can look back to getting hooked on my avocation with fond memories - not only of the comet, but also of a solar eclipse and an expedition to Jupiter, both in 1995. Funny how a shot of the eclipse should merge with the theme of this thread.

Totality in Bahawalpur, 24th October 1995:

Shot on film by Khalid Marwat. Link to original image. Close-up of the eclipse. Khalid sahab has a VHS recording of the event as well.

A german named Ralf Koschack had come to Pakistan for the eclipse. Among his other aims for the trip was to see the (Cholistan) desert and "touch sand", in his own words.

This eclispe was partial in Karachi. Ammi had kept us from school that day, and we observed the partial eclipse with welder's shades.

Thanks for the share Yaqub bhai. You and HB are so far the only guys who have come up with self-authored nightscapes on PW. Good job.

High ISO settings usually exaggerate the noise. Otherwise the above shot is very nice considering that it is unprocessed.

You should also upload the view from your otaq:

Once you upload it, I'll Insha Allah remove it from here.

I fully agree my friends.

We need to bring our homeland's beauty in the limelight.

Looks nice. The constellation in the center is Scorpius. The bright orange star is Antares.

Antares is no small star. Watch this.
