Amateur astrophotographer Ramesh Bhadri has captured a stunning image of the Andromeda Galaxy from the village of Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand, India. The galaxy, located approximately 2.7 million light-years from Earth, was photographed from a high-altitude Himalayan location known for its exceptionally dark skies.
Bhadri, an enthusiast with a passion for astrophotography, used a telescope and camera setup to capture the image. The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way and is visible to the naked eye under optimal conditions.
The achievement highlights the potential for astrophotography in remote, unpolluted areas of India. Bhadri's work has been shared on social media, drawing attention to the dark skies of Uttarakhand.
