What should the settings be on my camera to capture the Milky Way?

I have a Canon Powershot SX100is, what settings should I use to get the Milky Way in a picture (have it clear, not grainy). I have a tripod, I know I need one, and i can have a shutter speed up to 15 seconds, and as short as 1/1600. But every time I try to take a picture with settings people have told me, it turns out to be a grainy picture. What is the problem, what do I need to do? All other pictures with it are crystal clear.
Sorry, shutter speed ranges from 15 seconds to 1/2500 (usually only goes up to 1600, but can go to 2500) and the ISO ranges from I believe 50-1600.

You need to buy a camera like a D3s to make the picture come out clear.

15 seconds

ISO 3200

50mm F1.4 lens

I used those settings on a D300, and the pictures came out good, but they did have the grainy noise to them. With your camera, the noise would be way too much at ISO 3200.

EDIT- So you’re looking at :

15 seconds

ISO 1600

Whatever minimum aperture your camera does, couldn’t see it in the pictures, but I’m guessing F2.8 at the best.

So right off the bat, you’re 3 stops down from where I was shooting. With the sensor size, it will not be a pretty picture, way too noisy, way too dark. Try it, those settings will get you the best shot possible.

How can I take lots of photos at once with one click of the shutter on my Canon Powershot sx100IS?

I am not sure if it has the capabilities or not

This appears to be a discontinued item and no specs are available on the web.

It may not. But, check your owner’s manual for information. If it has this capability it will probably be called "burst". My son has a camera similar to yours and his will do 3 shots in one burst.
