Pause

I wouldn't have thought that the auto-focus would be so hard in low light condition. I wonder if it's dependent of the lens (I know it's depedant of the max aperture, but is the motor important? I think it is I remember I read something about that...)
This is not a photo from yesterday, but I wanted to post it because I liked it, the high iso makes noise, but I think It comes out well with the aproximative manual focus and the blurry trees (trees moves when there's wind). I have taken some photos yesterday, some nice, but I wanted this one, so I can ask also some advices about night sky photography. It seems it works better when there's a nearly full moon, because the first try I made was a total mess, but I don't remember about the moon at the time.
Any advices? on the photo, in general?
