Thank you, everyone, for great advice. I got some good info on how to do this.
I unintentionally complicated this by over-simplifying. I always shoot the moon in a landscape context. It has been the full moon rising or setting, for which I use fast shutter speeds. I've bracketed to find reasonable exposure(s) for both the moon and the landscape.
I've recently tried to shoot the setting new moon, lit by "earthshine" (there is usually a thin bright crescent). There is in any case no detail that I can capture on the moon, so a slower shutter speed (1/30 sec or so) allows reasonable ISO. But I still need to bracket to balance landscape with moon.

I'm starting to do a little moon photography, which means slow shutter speeds. I am using a tripod. But - since I'm new at this - I need to bracket my exposures.
I find my images are a little soft, so I would like to eliminate vibration from mirror+shutter.
I cannot find an easy way to do:
A - mirror lock-up with bracketing
or
B - LV-ES + bracketing
I think I can set my camera to one-button-push bracketing, then use LV+ES. But there mush be an easier way.
Any advice?

BigMackCam : "6- Green button : only on Pentax SLR, since MZ series - Yes, but only rarely (for metering with non-A lenses)"
Can you plase give a quick explanation for how one does this?

I would like to photo thunderstorms at night, when internal and/or cloud-ground lightning lights up the clouds. I was trying to use "bulb" for this - just open the shutter, wait until 3-4 flashes occur in my area of interest, then close the shutter. That has been only partly effective. But I am also getting some ground lights strongly registering with a long exposure, so I would like to try with a smaller aperture.
I'm also having problems getting focus right - finally tried manual focus set to infinity, but only partly successful.
