[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 606385, member: 3903"] The best way to manually focus is using the Live View function with the magnifying function. But I can understand that if you are trying to shoot stars, it's not very easy if not impossible except for the moon. But you mention using your "kit" lens (I suppose 18-55), so you could try the autofocus only to find that there isn't enough light and objects to focus on. Some people find the infinity focus point on their lenses during the day and mark the lens so they can reproduce the focusing inside before going out in the dark. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
