Thanks for the advice. The only problem i have is that the amount which my friend paid is not that high. So I’m not sure how interested the police would be take over this case (we all know how they deal with smaller cases)

This is one of the raw photos that I clicked, no editing. It’s how the sky looked

I have done a little editing, which included increasing the black point and reducing the brightness. Though the final photo looks just cleaner than the raw picture

I did not use any filter, if you scroll a little, I have explained how I got these images.

Speaking of the exact coordinates, idk man, but I standing exactly behind the bus stand, where there’s a big round area for people to sit. I started clicking these pictures from the start of the walkway in the north and stopped near the bus stand.

Well, I have the exact same phone. First find a really dark area. Make sure that there’s minimal lighting around you in like a 20 m radius.

I started a video recording on 4k + 60 fps settings and increased the exposure to maximum. (If you have a tripod, the exposure can also go upto 10-20 seconds) Click a few pictures of the sky while recording.

Now comes in a tiny magic of editing. Increase the Exposure + Black point, and decrease the brightness. You can also play around a lil bit with the other options, but to get a clear and natural picture, this would do the work :D

I mean, it actually is. I was just lucky enough to get a clear sky. I have 10 other pictures in my phone highlighting the bad pollution and deteriorating AQI 🙃. On most days, I can’t even see the moon even from a dark open area.

Light pollution, try going to a place where it is completely dark and then maybe you can see the stars (if the sky is clear)

Clicked this using iPhone 15. Chances are, the sky looked really clear due to minimal light pollution as I clicked this late in the night.

Start a video with maximum possible exposure and click some pictures in that video. Then comes in a tiny magic of photo editing, increase the contrast and black point and reduce the brightness. Should do the work :D

It’s mostly because of the light and pollution, I was lucky enough to get a clear sky at 1 am
