That's why I say it's convenient for no need to reset auto iso control. As for my original question: about night sky shooting and manual mode, it all time back to late March this year when I had a camping trip to Mojave desert (CA) and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (AZ). I had encountered one thing the night at Mojave Desert and nights at OPCNM: the spectacular starry sky which I thought I had never seen before in my life! I used my old iphone trying to catch the wonder... you all know the outcome<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />   Then I started researching a bit and found the answer: a DSLR camera, even an entry-level one like D3500 could work. So I am here digging into M mode operation just preparing for taking a striking night star shot or shots when next year's camping trips come again. Also I may take an adventure to the Antelope Canyon to try the phantom shots. They are all remote shot for me now, but I'll try. And thanks for advising in reading books. I'll check some out (never thought after retiring from science career and Ph.D. study, more book reading still on!)</blockquote>
