. I do not think they would survive here. 4400mts above MSL, and temperature in early october dropping to -9 degree C

X2, it is really great to have an idea of what exposure to start with.

How many hours after sunset did you get this shot? Thanks. I want to know if there is particular time at night when we should try for these things.

Actually, when to shoot depends on many things
1. your location
IF you are near Equator, immediately after sunset, within an hour it gets very dark.
In northern and extreme north latitudes, it takes a while for the sky to turn dark

This shot was 3-4 hours after sunset, and normally at 32 degrees N, it gets dark within 2 hours after sunset
2. Your location
Yes, your location matters again, because milky way rises and falls. Sagittarius is the constellation you watch out for. This is the location of the galactic core. When its high, then its a good time to shoot.
In the month of october, this puts the ideal shooting time around midnight. I shot couple of hours before midnight because temp was inching towards -10, and at 4200mts altitude, its usually not a good idea to shiver like this.
