Anything is possible. The 600 does focus well past infinity, so one does need to use care. I was kneeling in the wet snow (it didn't freeze here last night, which is very bizarre, as normal nighttime temps should be in the -20 to -30 range) with the camera pointed almost straight up. I noted that there was a slow oscilation of the camera, so I left the shake reduction on, but i was definitely shooting through haze as well. If we get a clear night tonight, I may repeat the picture and see if shake reduction is helping or hindering. Thanks for the suggestions and for looking..
