Antares
Tonights method: Turn on live view and focus manually on a bright star or the moon. Using zoom
buttons on rear of camera zoom in X10. Rack the focus ring back and forth. When the star
becomes the smallest/a sharp point it’s in focus.
Note: A still camera is critical. Any shake what so ever will affect your image. Ensure that you are
out of the wind, no camera straps and use a remote trigger
