All I did was turn the lens to the infinity endstop. I cannot imagine that ever being a problem - surely that will always be in focus?? Is that not true???

The shots I put in the thread were single shots - 2min, 5min, 10min exposure - I was only looking for the bright stars and happily saw more than that - globulars and strong hints of one galaxy (other than LMC). The film was cheap and somewhat old Fujifilm 400ASA colour print. I'd rather be using a Kodak 400ASA slide film - but 36 frames to shoot, then process before I know how the session(s) have gone!!
