[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 719184, member: 27017"] Wayne gave you some good advice. I don't have or have not seen the camera you are using, but I will try to clarify the focus for you. Turn your camera on to "Live View" Make sure you have the camera set to manual focus. Then hit the + to zoom in on the live view. As the larger white stars or moon come into view, turn the focus ring to see the clearest picture you can. Do it slow as live view is not always instant. When you have the clearest, most in focus view you are there. It is not a count of turns, etc on the focus ring, just moving it to the best focus as viewed in live view. Another thing I thought of is to set the camera shutter to timer mode to delay the shutter trip by 6-10 seconds or so. This avoids any chance of vibration from pushing the shutter button. [/QUOTE]
