Originally when I went out for a walk in this cold, but dry night, I saw a few stars twinkling in the sky and thought maybe it's a good time for a night star shot practice. Turned out to be disappointing long-time labor in focusing to the not very bright stars (I thought first I should be able to see or focuse through the viewfinder, never got it -- I could see the foreground trees, but just couldn't focus to the stars between trees. Turn to Live view and I could only see the whole dark screen with nothing even faint trees...  ). So I decided to give up for now and then I saw some neighborhood light emitting out through trees and houses thinking why not take a shot of this night scene. I set to focus the light and it seemed working. I took the shot with the star sky exposure settings -- 20", f3.5, 3200. Shockingly the replay image took me to the roof! As it looked definitely a day-light shot, not a night-light photo. I realized this must be the doing of exposure settings, so I took two more shots, one in auto mode with flash and one without flash. I attach these three images for your comments and enlightenment (hopefully no critics).  Oop!  Upload still failed. ??? HELP!Anyway, I am back to my original question: How to focus to infinity with D3500?  I have watched some videos and read some articles with all the (hopefully) good ideas and yet when practicing, have no even slight success. Maybe stars are too few and not bright enough?  Hope I can get this right before the real occasion comes.</blockquote>
