Landscape Moonless in the cold

Hi all,
I have made some night photography last weekend. Pretty satisfied of the result. Here are my mistakes that i can guess: SR was not off, lens was dirty, kit lens not wide enough. I also think that in that -24 celcius, i don't have to bother with sensor heating up... Let me know what you think! Oops, missing a n in the title!

I guess it was mooless since I see no cow

I enjoy the lighting of night photography

The lighting is nice, but the focus is a bit soft. Were you using a tripod?

Well since it was a 2 guy one snowmobile trip straight through forest i didn't bring it. I use a Pedco Ultrapod that I attached to a diamond drilling rod standing in the snow... i focused on infinity manually. It was too dark for the AK to lock on anything. Must be that, thank you for pointing that out!

Well for having to improvise the tripod... nice work!
