I think...

If you view full size, that's the North Star - Polaris - just to the right of the summit. That means this view is looking straight north.

Also, the two end stars of the "Little Dipper" asterism are visible to the left of the peak, with the star Kochab (the lip of the dipper's bowl) closer to the ridge and Pumori's south flank, and the star Pherkab (at the bottom of the dipper's bowl) to the upper left of Kochab.

Finally, I believe that's Kangri (6789) to the left of Pumori.

Beautiful shot, Flow.

Thanks for sharing,

Big Lew
