    High ISO
    Turn on long exposure noise reduction if your camera has it
    Use a wide aperture like 2.8
    Don't expose over 25 seconds or so as the stars will move in that amount of time
    Use a tripod
    Mirror lock-up helps to reduce camera shake due to shutter opening and closing
    A remote would be very helpful though the self timer will work too

            Everything Casey said but I put the iso way down to reduce noise/static stuff. But I'm using a t5i so not the best iso. Also shoot when there is no moon and away from cities/towns. If no remot then use the timer. But remotes are like 15-20 bucks on Amazon

              I agree, follow Casey’s lead. I usually use ISO 800 as a starting point, and then adjust as needed. Usually 800 is a good place to be(for me anyway). I shoot in manual mode, drop the F stop as low as your lens will go, dial in to 800 ISO, and will start around 5-10 second SS. That should get you in the ballpark.
