This one was actually autofocus, and was somewhat better than most of the ones I manually focused -- the image was very dim -- but I took a lot, hoping at least one would come out okay.

I thought as long as I didn't touch auto focus from when it was bright, I would be good. Of course then Murphy had me hit the focus ring and it was too dark to tell how good it was, and it wasn't.
