The name "Shangri-La" comes from the fictional, mystical, harmonious place, described by James Hilton in his novel "Lost Horizon".
Shot taken on March 14th 2012, from the summit of Mount Brévent (2.525 m - 8.284 ft), France.
Down on the right you can see the rocky peaks I've used as subject in my previous shots.
About this photo, I must recognize that this particular composition is just inevitable... when you're out there, at night, with the tent illuminated from inside, well... the temptation is too strong... so, why resist? :-)
In the background you can see part of the Mont Blanc massif French side, gently illuminated from below by the lights of Chamonix.
Mont Blanc is both a massif and a peak.
The name can refer to the entire mountain range bordering French, Italy and Switzerland, as well as the main peak at 4.810 meters altitude.
Mont Blanc is the highest peak in western Europe. The top peak in all of Europe is Mount Elbrus (Caucasus, Russia) 5.642 m.
So, you see, the highest point is dependent upon the definition of Europe.
From left to the right you can see the entire range of the Aiguilles de Chamonix (with the famuos Aiguille du Midi lit for the night), the Mont Blanc du Tacul (4.248), Mont Maudit (4.465 m), Mont Blanc summit (4.810 m), Dôme du Goûter (4.306), Aiguille du Goûter (3.863).
In the night sky, on the right, we have some relevant stars, just look in the sector above the Aiguille du Goûter and Le Brévent summit: Aludra, Wezen, Adhara, of Canis Major constellation.

Image taken with a SkyWatcher 70mm SK707AZ2, using a super 25mm lens (28x).
It lies at Canis Major (The Greater Dog) constellation and is the eightieth eighth brightest star in the sky.

This frames the region of the Milky Way in southern Canis Major and northern Puppis, rich in a variety of star clusters and some nebulosity. The field of view is 15º by 10º.
At right the brightest stars are in Canis Major: yellow-white Wezen (Delta Canis Mjaoris) and blue-white Adhara (Epsilon Canis Majoris), with orange Sigma Canis Majoris between them. Above left of Wezen is the large cluster NGC 2354, and above it the smaller and brighter NGC 2362. At top left is a Messier cluster, M93, in Puppis.
At far left is the bright magenta emission nebula NGC 2467. At lower left near the frame edge is the cluster NGC 2489. At bottom is the cluster NGC 2439, while the group of stars at bottom centre is the cluster Collinder 140, a distinctive object in binoculars. I call it the J Cluster as it looks like a letter J.
The large diffuse faint nebulosity at top is Sharpless 2-310, though wisps of emission nebulosity extends down past the star Aludra, Eta Canis Majoris, below centre. At upper right near the orange star Omicron Canis Majoris is the faint cyan arc of the large planetary nebula Sharpless 2-308, aka the Dolphin Head Nebula, barely visible here. Left of the big Sharpless emission nebula is a small blue reflection nebula van den Burgh 98. Above the NGC 2362 cluster at the top of the frame is another small blue reflection nebula, van den Burgh 96.
This is a stack of 12 x 2 minute exposures with the Canon RF135mm lens at f/2 and Canon Ra at ISO 800. The lens had an URTH 82mm Night broadband filter on it. The camera was tracked but not guided on the Astro-Physics AP400 mount. Taken from Australia in March 2024 on a night devoted to shooting 135mm telephoto lens fields along the Milky Way.
Away from the lights of the city, the Big Dog (Canis Major), at the end of its tail (star Aludra) hangs a faint blur at magnitude 3.5. This is the huge Open Cluster, Collinder 140. From where I observe I must rely on binoculars to see this hair tuff at the end of the Big Dog’s tail. The city lights to my south and the deep southern location of Collinder 140 in the night sky keeps it invisible, using only my eyes. Using my 7x42 binoculars both Collinder 140 and its adjacent neighbor Collinder 132 are easily seen.
Through the 110mm refractor the best I can do is a 3.4-degree field-of-view which is not large enough to cover both Collinder 140 and Collinder 132. Thus, separate drawings were made.

Canis Major is one of the 88 modern constellations, and was included in the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy's 48 constellations. Its name is Latin for 'greater dog', and is commonly represented as one of the dogs following Orion the hunter (see also Canis Minor the 'lesser dog'). Canis Major contains Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, known as the 'dog star'. It is bright because of its proximity to our Solar System. In contrast, the other bright stars of the constellation are distant luminous bright giants and supergiants. At magnitude 1.5, Epsilon Canis Majoris (Adhara) is the second brightest star of the constellation, followed by Delta (Wezen) at 1.8, Beta (Mirzam) at 2.0 and Eta (Aludra) at 2.4. The red supergiant VY Canis Majoris is one of the largest stars known.
Orion, sometimes subtitled The Hunter, is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous and most recognizable constellations in the night sky. Its name refers to Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are Beta (Rigel) and Alpha (Betelgeuse), a blue-white and red supergiant respectively. Many other of the brightest stars in the constellation are hot blue supergiant stars.
Photo taken with a tripod mounted Canon T4i camera with a Canon 17-40mm L Series lens, 15 second exposure at ISO1600.
A shot I took just outside of our house.
Not satisfied though as the other elements made the composition too tight.
Will look for better chances in the near future.

This is a result of 67 frames stacked together! This is a very first time doing something like that and the outcome was far more impressive than Orion especially since the latter is more challenging due to its nebulae!!
Fun fact: Upon zooming you can notice at the far left near the corner the very faint reddish blob of the red supergiant VY Canis Majoris, which if not for the stacking would be otherwise completely invisible, since it isn’t visible with the naked eye.
