These days the number of opportunities for observing and taking pictures is very limited. Today was one of these days so I quickly decided to gobble up my dinner and set up my star adventurer with my D7200 and a Niton 70-300ED. Getting the right exposure is a trial and error procedure but, importantly, getting a sharp image is most important. I used the mirror up function and made sure to wait for any vibration to settle before pressing the shutter on my remote for the second time. I cropped the image quite a bit. I think I have something to share with you below. Comments are most welcome!

Good Shot...cool you got the opportunity to get out there for it, my difficulty has been taking time for pictures and letting go the eyepieces as I tend to like them alot more than cameras. Have a great weeks end Rod...

At least you chose to eat first!  I just grabbed everything and went outside to feed the mosquitos.

 

Got a great image there, nice contrast....with it being over-the-top.
