[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 790029, member: 48483"] With a D7200 the way to do this is manual focus in LiveView. On your tripod set the camera or lens to Manual Focus. Now activate LiveView, move the focus point box in the LCD using the cursor pad to a prominent visible star. Now use the zoom+ button to zoom in the display view as far as it goes. Adjust the focus ring by hand until the star is as small as possible in LCD. Small point of light=infinity focus. This can be done for any night sky photography. Taking photos of the moon, Venus, or some other planet: pick a star to focus on first. Infinity focus on a star is infinity focus on anything in the sky. [/QUOTE]
