This was my first jump into night time long exposure photography. having problems focusing. Especially when it's 2-3 AM in the pitch black.

Live view and manual focus sometimes helps in such situations. Especially if you magnify the live view.

I was manually focusing but it's very hard when it's pitch black. There was quite litterally NO light except the stars. And the D80 doesn't have live view. I kinda wish it did sometimes. IT would have come in handy here

Here's two more from the same night. I've gotta say I'm happier with my focus in these ones.
