I am a complete beginner.I want to know what should I do if I want to capture a deep sky object that rises from the southern sky while I live in the northern hemisphere?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You can't capture southern hemisphere objects from the northern hemisphere, not unless you travel to the southern hemisphere with all your kit. 

There are quite a few deep sky objects that are close to the celestial equator and are visible to observers in both hemispheres. 

If you can find a planetarium app for your device (I use skysafari) you will be able to input your location and it will show you the night sky visible you.

From the UK, realistically, the most southern DSO you can image well is the Eagle Nebula. But you won't be able to get hours and hours of subs. 

Sadly, our southern hemisphere brothers and sisters get all the best targets 😕

Well I don't image myself, but Kolkota is only 22ish degrees north.

Did you have any particular southern hemisphere objects in mind? Do you know their latitudes?

The bigger challenge may be getting up to speed on DSO imaging if you're a complete beginner. There's quite a bit to learn.

Here's a screen shot from the free software Stellarium showing what should be visible to the south from Kolkata at around midnight. Nearly all the objects are south of the celestial equator.  

If you want to capture images of these, the best time is as they cross the meridian (green line in the image) as they are highest then and there is less atmosphere to spoil the view.

You could always book time on a remote telescope. You won't be there in person but you will be controlling the telescope and capturing the images yourself. I have never done it but something like this:

They have telescopes in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

You live in kolkata mate??

Afraid not!  Cold and cloudy UK, unfortunately.

I just used the location function in Stellarium to show the view from the place shown in your post.

If you want a complete introduction to deep-sky imaging, from the very  basics of how sensors work on up through telescopes  and processing, I  heartily recommend Charlie Bracken's The Deep-Sky Imaging Primer.
