It would stay focused at infinity as long as you didn't refocus. Maybe this would work for you.
I'll have to try this with my 14-54 mkI and see if it focuses on infiity correctly.
Could it be the camera body?
Good luck.

Its not the body, other lenses work fine.. All I did to get to infinity is shut the camera off, it resets lens a little past infinity, then I turn on again was able to back off the focus manually, but if I went too far had to start over, AF will work also but when it gets so dark there is nothing to focus on...Stars wont work.. I will try cleaning contacts on lens, may try the conjunction again tonight
