If you rely on the camera to expose the  scene, you don’t see any stars at all. Therefore, shoot this type of  picture by using the B (Bulb) mode so that the shutter stays open until you decide to close it, which you do remotely.  The lowest ISO setting on some older cameras and Nikons is ISO 200. But if your camera has a lower setting, use it. A focal-length range of 28mm to 50mm lets you either capture a wide expanse of landscape and stars, or zoom in for a tighter view.</blockquote>
