Just pointing and snapping won't really do it for you. You will need a tripod, and play around with several settings. Here's one I took last summer while at a Cornish campsite at night
I had increased the ISO setting and opened the f stop as wide as possible. Then I played with the shutter speed until I got this. Quite a few stars show up as well as the (overexposed) moon.
