Went out on a rare clear night to a wetlands near me to take some photos of the stars. As it was so dark, and the stars are so small, I had to rely on the focus peaking function of my camera to tell if the stars were in focus or not.

I’ve got home and started to process the photos, and I’ve found out that despite the camera telling me that they were in focus, they clearly weren’t.

Hey ho, what’s a wasted few hours in the freezing cold between friends…

    Ah yeah my Panasonic mirrorless is kind of like that, it has a ‘range’ of infinity focus which is annoying!

    Advantage of playback mode is you can zoom way in on a star and that makes it easier to see.
