Canon t3 shooting at night

[jxi]

Hi everyone,

Just signed up to get some quick tips for the moment and possibly later in the future.

I'm shooting a simple scene for a short film with a Canon t3.
Now the shooting will be at night on the beach directed towards the stars.

What advice can you give me as in settings and to properly obtain a clear shot of the scene.
I have never recorded the night sky with the camera, so as of now I'm not too sure how it'll turn out.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
jxi
