I'm new to photography. How do I take good picture of stars and moon at night. I seen other people's picture and it looks amazing. What do I mess with in manual? Like ISO, shutter speed, etc.

You are asking two different questions here. Taking pictures of stars is very different from taking pictures of the moon. The moon is like any other sunlit object, and you can use a much faster shutter speed than you think. If sunlight in daytime is a "sunny 16", the the moon is about a "moony 11". The stars require timed exposure, and a equatorial mount tracking device to keep them from forming star trails. To get the color you see in the astronomy magazines requires long exposures, long lenses, and lots of know how. Or you can plan to shoot star trails, where the stars "revolve" around an axis in the sky. Either one requires a good tripod and manual exposure. Use the lowest ISO and a middle aperture for the moon, and bracket your exposure. Be sure to dress warmly. You might want to have a look at the Geminid Meteors this weekend, maybe you can capture some meteor trails.

If you want to be able to take the really cool photos - those crazy special effects images others just can't figure out - what I'm about to share
with you will blow your mind…
… in fact, you'll probably be a little annoyed that nobody told you this stuff before.
You see, there are a handful of simple, easy techniques that can totally transform how you use and view your camera - and they're so quick to
grasp, they'll make a difference for you the very next time you snap a picture.

if i were you i would definitely go to the desert, i think the best place for taking good pictures of moon and stars is in the deserts because the weather is really clean and there is no pollution, even you can simply see the milky way. the sky in the desert is perfect. don't hesitate, you will take nice and different pictures there.
good luck for u.

Ara57 gave a brilliant answer, and I will agree. The most important device is one that will counteract the movement of the earth during an exposure that could last up to 4 hours. In addition to having a means to hold the shutter open that long, you must also ensure you have a steady supply of power for such a long exposure, like an AC power pack connected to the camera.

Thats not an easy question, there are alot of things you can do, the library would be a good place to start. Also try OrionTelescopes.com, or www.Astronomy.com ,for products. Good luck. Stay away from Bright Lights....
