[QUOTE="AlexandL, post: 185024, member: 16004"] Well, this is embarrassing. I had the feeling I was missing something, I just didn't realize it was something so obvious. I had no idea I could zoom the lcd screen in live view mode. I didn't come across that function in the manual. Here I am trying to set the focus with nothing but a tiny pixel dot of light on my screen. The last couple of nights have been perfect with clear skies and moonless, and I've been pointing my camera at the darkest part of the sky. I was hoping to get some nice star field shots, and catch a few shots of the Persieds at peak but I'll have to wait and try again. I've gotten a lot of useful info for the next try. [/QUOTE]
