The TG6 is almost perfect for me but it has no manual controls. How do I get good and get the most out of a camera with only semi-auto modes?

Can you give an example of a situation where the "semi-manual modes" would not allow you to achieve the iso/shutter speed/ aperture combination you would want to achieve the necessary exposure?

Use OK button to focus manually, use half press to do AE locks.

Digiscoping. What I did was the above and to get the proper exposure I pointed the camera at a lamp.

Take it to places you couldn't take a camera without that level of sealing. Use the durability to achieve otherwise impossible photos, bar an expensive underwater enclosure.

Pentax MX-1 if you can forgo the waterproof capabilities maybe

I want to shoot more at night and I especially love rain at night, but I'm not sure how to achieve longer exposures with the modes I have

I don't remember if it has exposure compensation but a sure fire way to do it is an ND filter. And maybe some scene modes, dumb as it sounds. If I recall it has a fireworks scene mode that could help, but I generally stayed away from the more automatic modes. Also use the ISO setting to force longer exposures.
