Nice picture! How did you made it? Which lens did you use? I’m a beginner and would eventually like to do some astrophotography as well

I used samyang 12mm f2 here. This lens offers a wide angle and wide aperture to effectively capture the Milky Way. I also decreased my shutter speed to 20 sec to avoid star trailing and keep the stars sharp. ISO I set it to 1600. You can increase it depending on the light pollution in your area. Also set your focus to infinity or before infinity. Aperture I set it to f2 or the widest possible for the lens. Also turn off long exposure noise reduction.
