[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 26095, member: 1556"] The first question that comes to mind is... What are you focusing on? The nearest star to earth that is not the sun is Proxima Centauri. 4.3 light years away or approximately 14 TRILLION kilometers! ALL of the rest of the stars are a LOT farther away. Focus is not the problem. TIME of exposure is. You can actually open the aperture all the way, focus to infinity and keep the shutter open about 10 minutes! Of course, this is NOT at 6 pm. This is more like midnight. ;) Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
