Thank you so much Stephane I will give this a crack. You are right, I do not have something far away enough during the day from my backyard for me
to set infinity focus. I will start with the moon.
I am excited, clear skies and a good moon now.

In your two screenshots you’ll notice a small white disc with a smaller black disc inside it. This is a bright star out of focus, in fact, completely out of focus. As you improve focus, the disc will get smaller and the black disc inside will disappear. Suddenly hundreds of smaller stars will appear in the image.
The reason why you are in focus during the day and out of focus at night could be down to many factors. You might not by focusing at infinity. Try to focus on the Moon to get yourself started.
Hope that helps.
Clear skies,
Stéphane
