I know that this post is older but I wanted to help just in case:

Get a tripod and ideally use the timer or a switch.
Set up your shot and lower your ISO, ISO 100 or 200 etc to reduce noise.
set your Aperture at something above f/8.0+ then play with your shutter speed so it captures what you are looking to get. You'll probably want a decent exposure time. All of this is just me ball parking it.

this should help:
