Stars

Now that sunset is at a time when I can attempt it, I have been experimenting with pictures of the stars.  I actually think that these are planets (Jupiter and Venus?) but I didn't bother to check when I got back to the dorm.  What I've been having a hard time with here is deciding where to focus, the low f-stop needed to get star pictures won't allow you to focus on the stars and the foreground at the same time needless to say.
