I don't have a full frame camera, does it matter? The widest lens I have is only kit lens (18mm x 1.6 = 28.8mm). I tried to shoot star trails but failed. I find difficulty in the dark to control the focus of the lens to infinity because there's no such label on kit lens.

Perhaps if you are fussy for less noise, but APS-C has no problems taking milky way/star trails.
During day time, while using autofocus: focus at the clouds in the sky. Memorize/mark the spot on your lens where the focus is as that would be your infinity spot.

Yes, all you need is a decent tripod.

Change to manual focus and use live view. Point at a star and zoom in to the max. Then adjust your focus ring till it is pin point sharp smile.gif

Thank you but I don't understand why should I zoom in to the max since I am looking to shoot wide angle hmm.gif
