[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 133187, member: 9521"] I agree with your Moab man, I have no problem using auto-focus on bright items like the moon or stars. And yes, f-13 is way too small for night photography. Crank that lens wide open and then back off a stop to a stop and a half and you'll get the sharpest images the lens can produce (not to mention a much faster exposure = less noise). On a similar topic, I've been reading that NR on long exposures is not necessarily a good way to go. I'm planning on doing a side by side here soon since several night photographers I'm friends with swear that NR will remove sharpness in your images and that you can do much better with your own noise reduction programs, not to mention removing that long wait while the NR does its business.
