For focusing, set the sense up to off or 6x - 8x for fainter stars.
The Zoom function also helps with critical focusing.

Depending on your capture device, you may have options to increase software gain, this will help reveal faint objects.
This will also enhance noise.
To compensate for the extra noise, record more video frames to help cancel it out in the stacking process.
I've found with my system that 400 to 800 frames will cancel most of the noise.
