Learn the exposure triangle and just get outside and take photos. Use Manual mode on your camera, turn off everything "auto", the 500 rule is a good rough starting point and adjust from there. Depends what you want and what you expect from it. its nevera matter of "use these settings for this camera" the settings are irrelevant of camera but YOU have to learn to understand what they are and comprehend what effect they have on your photos so you know how to adjust them. And it all depends on local conditions too. Its YOU taking the photograph, not your gear its just a tool, like buying the worlds most expensive paint brush wont make you paint like Davinci. The exposure triangle applies to any photograph and rural landscapes with stars/milky way can look awesome, the 500 rule will start you on sky only shots. Understand the triangle to adjust from there. Starfields need tripod but the moon can be shot handheld with ease.
