My first ever capture, so now I have questions....

So I’ve finally managed to find time and a clear night to test out my gear This is a single frame, 5 sec at iso 3200 - Sky Watcher 80mm Black diamond with Canon 80D. (Suburban Melbourne backyard)
My first questions are, is there an easier way to focus rather than using the viewfinder? I found this fairly awkward, as there was nothing at all visible on the LCD in live view (I was surprised by this). Also, is there a way to mount the camera to the diagonal? I found that I needed to mount directly to the tube in order to achieve focus, which made for an awkward angle through the viewfinder.
Thanks!
Looking forward to learning to stack!
