Did you use a red dot sight on the camera, or your eye to the viewfinder?

Did you have the focus pre - set at infinity and switched to manual?

Thank you, Mark.

I tried one of those but found out I was more accurate by looking through the viewfinder. I use the rear to focus, and I did prefocus. This combination hunts quite a bit when what you're focusing on is essentially points of light. There should be a star-focus mode.
