[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 185459, member: 9521"] Unfortunately, I wasn't able to because it was very easy to slightly bump the focus ring when realigning the shots. But it just occurred to me that I could have left the autofocus on and once I put the focus ring to the proper place I could have hit focus lock. Oy Veh!!! It's crazy how such a simple solution completely evades your thought process and then when you're not thinking about it, the answer pops into your head. As for finding the proper focus. Take your lens out during the day and focus on the very farthest point you can see, such as the moon (when it's up during the day) or a far away mountain range. Then commit to memory the exact spot on the lens and then use this to set your lenses at when taking star photographs. And then once you manually set the lens to that focus, hit focus lock and you'll avoid making the mistake I did on this image. [/QUOTE]
