Comments
One tip -- don't rely on your camera's infinity focus to be the sharpest point for star shots. Infinity is often beyond the sharpest spot and will capture the stars as blobs instead of tiny and crisp points of light.
Instead, turn on "live view" where it is showing the current view through your lens on your camera's LCD screen. Find a bright star or planet and zoom your LCD view in as far as it will go on that bright object. Turn your camera to infinity focus and back off the focus until the star/planet is as sharp as it can get on the LCD screen. Once you find that spot, make a mark on your lens or use tape to make sure your camera stays at the focus point.
Now take the shot!
