This seems to carry a few problems. A big one with focusing (been raising this in the Beginners section of this site). Also, there is no aperature controls so everything is done on manual.
I guess the big thing i seem to be getting is that people keep their lenses on. Is this right? How do you do it?

Dennis is spot on.
Just to clarify, you won't get aperture control because your scope becomes your lens therefore you use the camera in manual mode.
The other method you mention is piggyback photography in which you mount your camera and lens on top of your scope and use the scope/mount to track the movement of the stars while you expose thru your lens set at infinity.
