Can someone lead me to an astronomy exposure tutorial? Dawn sky?

[QUOTE="Daddy-o, post: 499238, member: 40874"] New member, I did several searches and reviewed the promising results but they didn't address the pre-dawn sky. Specifically, it's October 11, 2015 and looking upward from the horizon at dawn Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Venus are in the same sky. They fit in the frame landscape with an 80mm mounted to a D5100. This morning I witnessed, but didn't capture a crescent moon just below Mercury too. Obviously I'm lamenting the loss of a very special composition, 4 planets and a very thin crescent moon! I'm thinking manual exposure, manual focus, self-timer on a tripod. But Mercury is so dim. Does just it come down to trial and error? --Thanks [/QUOTE]
