Thanks George and Dunk. I am using a 12" GoTo Dob. Exposure lengths were 30 sec, ISO 1600 using a Nikon 3100 DSLR. No idea if these are suitable but seemed to work ok but open to suggestions.
I was happy just getting it (semi) in focus! For a week or so I was trying to focus the camera on a tripod looking through the eyepiece. Needless to say the results weren't great. I have never even used the manual settings before so lot of trial and error over the past week. I am on a steep learning curve but enjoying every second (except when the wind picks up and clouds come over)!
