Nanga Parbat, Milky Way, and moonlight from fairy meadows

Nanga Parbat, Milky Way, and moonlight from Fairy Meadows. Its certainly possible to capture the Nanga Parbat, Milky Way, and moonlight in a photograph. In fact, the Fairy Meadows campsite 3,300 meters (10,800 feet) at the base of Nanga Parbat is renowned for its incredible views, particularly for astrophotography. i utilized the moonlight for illuminating the landscape, as i was shooting during a waxing crescent .The final shot for the milky way was done after almost 3 hours when moon was gone with the camera in the same position. For tripod i used a chair and the view was outside my room. Fairy Meadows is accessible from spring to autumn, with the road typically closing during winter due to snow.

Edit the RAW images in Lightroom, stack with Starry Landscape Stacker, and use Photoshop for an alternative method and hot pixel removal. A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!
