I know that with my cameras infinity starts at about 1 mile. f/5.6 for a 75 isn't all that stopped down. Perhaps try f/11, use hyper focal to your advantage a bit, and a tripod... Just a WAG. By the way, tomorrow the moon rises as the sun sets (moon rise 15 minutes after sunset). Perfect time to get a softly lit landscape with a large full moon. Unfortunately it is supposed to be cloudy and rainy here; so I'm counting on you!
