Hi Neil, you didn't mention anything about focusing. If you haven't done it yet, for new equipment I find it easier to focus on a distant building/landscape feature during the day (the Moon is also a good target if day activity is not an option) and then remember roughly the focus position and this becomes my starting point for focusing at night.
Regarding back focus distance, here is the text from the specs of the scope: "Camera connection via male M48 thread (suitable adapters are available) - working distance 55 mm".
Once you ready, set manual mode, bump the ISO to 800-1600, set your shutter to 1-2 sec, point towards a bright star and go from there.
