hyewiz,

What camera do you use?

Some general pointers for Point & Shoot cameras would be,
• selecting the "Mountain" setting.
• Using a tripod if available, otherwise resting the camera on something sturdy.
• adjust aperture/shutter speed/iso for bracketing (The easy way is simply moving the exposure control 1 stop up or down or using AEB-Auto Exposure Bracketing).

Do you have any shots you tried? (including the exif/metadata to see what the camera did). Also, what do you plan to use bracketing for?

Cheers.

ELB,

 I have old PowerShot SD700 IS, I just started using CHDK, always admired Sunrise/Sunset photos
this is my first try as you all see its pure (beginners luck) I don't even recall what settings I had

I like to find a step-by-step tutorial or help with the best setting on all the important fields if that's possible.

Thank you for your assistance

Zack

Using "how to set camera for sunrise and sunset photos" with Google, you'll find a lot of good articles & ideas on how to start. Here are three that I found interesting:
