[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 185017, member: 12496"] Setting the lens to infinity is not necessarily very accurate focus, at least for stars. What I do is to set Manual Focus. Then I use Live View, and the LCD zoom button to greatly magnify the view. Focus manually on the magnified stars (or moon), for smallest brightest dots. Then take it out of Live View mode (battery) and shoot away, with that same fixed focus. [/QUOTE]
