Advice for first photos

So... I should get my first telescope in a few days....
I have read here that people take multiple images, which is automatically possible with my camera, and then stack them. Which settings would you recommend? How many shots?
It will be afocal photography for the moment. I do have a tripod for the camera though. I have also seen that there are cheap universal camera adapters on eBay. I wonder if they are OK?
My camera also has a setting for focussing on moving objects, which I hope can be useful for less bright objects that require long exposures and drift a bit during the exposure (my telescope will be a dob so it won't automatically follow objects)?
