Pretty cool for a single exposure :)

Yes Mike, but nothing like your superb results. This was literally a snap taken just before dinner on Friday evening. The 7100 wasn't bought for AP, but it's always interesting to see how a camera responds.

Bloody hell, that is nice for an instant result!

[ChrisM]

Thanks Erik and Peter. It wasn't quite instant; I had to wait 20 seconds for the ICNR!

I might try it again without Moon and see if I can focus a little better (my neck hurts trying to see the back screen of the DSLR) with Eta Car that high in the sky.

Nice capture Chris.

The Nikon shows promise....they have come a long way from the D200.
