The night there was really dark with no moon and nearly no light pollution and it was the first time I ever saw the Milky way in my life. It really left me breathless so I had to took that picture.Editing
Yes I've done some adjustments in Adobe Lightroom to make the Milky Way popIn my camera bag

Since it was my first time doing astrophotography I didn't really nailed the focus so my advice is not to focus to infinity as I did but instead pick the brightest star and focus on it. The other advice is, after you took the picture, take some time to enjoy the vastness of space.
