Of course, no matter how you focus in the distance - even if the moon is bright while you’re taking pictures - be sure to review your photos at full magnification to see if the stars are sharp. Often, even if there isn’t a moon, I find that I can focus on a faraway source of light for exactly the same effect. If there’s a distant road with car headlights, it can make a great subject for focusing. In fact, in places with the darkest skies (and, comparatively, the brightest stars), it is unlikely that there will be a lot of buildings or distant lights on the horizon. Just as the moon provides a bright point in the sky for focusing, so do buildings or other distant lights in the background.

You’ll already know if this applies to you most people will just want to use the center point without any additional adjustments, since it’s quicker and gives fine results on most lenses.) NIKON D800E + 14-24mm f/2.8 24mm, ISO 100, 30 seconds, f/4.0 2) Lights in the Distance

In that case, you may choose to focus somewhat incorrectly in the center of the image - typically by focusing a bit farther than necessary - so that the blurriness is spread more evenly throughout the sky, rather than the center being in focus and the corners being noticeably out of focus. (The only corollary to this point is if you know the exact characteristics of your lens’s field curvature and feel the need to correct it as much as possible. By focusing on the moon with your center point, you’ll ensure sharp stars in the center, even if you happen to change your composition and not include the moon. Typically, it is more important to have the sharpest possible stars in the center of your image than all the way in the corners, which will likely be darker due to vignetting anyway (and less sharp due to coma). Why is this? Due to field curvature, your “plane” of focus may not be a plane at all - it could be curved. One other thing to mention: Use the center region of your photograph for focusing.

(If you want to save time, you can use autofocus - in live view or through the viewfinder - although it likely won’t be as accurate as magnified manual focus.) Simply put your camera on a tripod, enter live view, magnify the image as much as possible, and manually focus until everything looks sharp. However, if you do happen to take pictures while it’s bright, this is one of the best ways to acquire proper focus on the stars. You won’t always be able to plan a photoshoot around the moon. However, too bright of a moon (especially a full moon) will make it harder to capture detail in the Milky Way, since it often lowers the sky’s overall contrast. Plus, the moon is more than bright enough for your autofocus system to lock on. On one hand, if the moon is out, you may be able to capture the landscape with enough light to see clearly. Moonlit nights have their positives and negatives for landscape photography.
