You needn't go through all the problems of climbing into bed with the
camera - just load it in the dark.  I do this in my bathroom (I call it a
darkroom).

I am assuming that you are using a #25 filter.  My suggestion is that you
set your camera to EI 250 and meter through the lens.  Obviously, you will
want to do a little bracketing (I'd recommend a stop either way) when you
start, as the results you expect may well not be what I expect (you can
visit my site to see my images).

You shouldn't have any problems with focusing.  Just shoot at F8 or
smaller and the focus adjustment will fall into place without a problem.
