Another tip - I find it helpful to put a bright star in the centre of frame (Alpha/Beta Cent, Sirius, Canopus, Jupiter, etc) when focusing via AF or manually through LiveView.

Even on really expensive wide angle primes, the corners are often horrible with coma, CA, and other optical aberrations wide open. Being in the centre helps minimise the distraction.
