Proper Settings

Hi All.  I am just a beginner still reading my camera manual online and everything.  For some reason, I still struggle with getting the settings correct for taking photos at night.  I have an EOS Rebel T100.  What are the proper settings for getting pictures to come out clear at night?  I tried numerous things and still cannot get it right.  Hope someone with this camera that takes photos at night can give me some feedback as to the proper settings.  Thanks!!!

Yeah, I can see the Moon is overexposed, but I would have expected far more than that at ISO 3200.  Any lens filters?


Yeah. I've got a color polarizer on.

Using a polarizing filter could fully explain it.  Most of them reduce light reaching the camera sensors by 1-1.5 stops.  I think the mystery is probably solved.

That is a great shot.  Love it.

It was twilight, and the sky actually was that azure blue.

But it is daylight on the Moon.
