[QUOTE="blackstar, post: 719167, member: 47518"] Hi Wayne, Thanks so much for your reply with so helpful and valuable (to me) info. I see now the key is to choose one with wider aperture (f/3.5 instead of f/4.0) for collecting more light. As for focusing infinity, I am still in the cloud... I tried using (turning) the focus ring to focus some object with some success, but it (focus ring) seems have no end of turning. I assume it would be turned to an end point that would indicate "infinity". Probably this is not the way to focus infinity? According to the way you described, I need to study "zoom in on live view preview" first, then see if I can try and make it. Thank you so much. Oh, still another dumb question: which way to turn (counter clockwise or clockwise when you are behind camera to turn the ring) to focus farther? And according to your experience, about how many turns (focus ring) you can focus night stars? Appreciatively, [/QUOTE]
