[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 133682, member: 9521"] Layers is certainly the easiest way but so is stopping down your lens. Also, be careful with setting your lens to infinity. Typically lenses can go past infinity and you'll end up with blurry stars. In the daylight take your lens out and focus on a distant object and then see where the line on your lens matches up to the symbol on the barrel. Then when doing long distant night photos, use that spot on the lens and at the same time stop the lens down a stop or two. If you simply crank your lens as far to infinity as it can go you'll not be happy with the result. [/QUOTE]
