First light with DBK camera

I had the first run with my new Imaging Source DBK 21 USB camera last night and this morning. Seeing last night was pretty crappy (moon, saturn), but a little better this morning (big J). I'm still a bit in the dark about adjusting the camera controls. Do people just push sliders around until things look OK, or is there a more scientific method?

Moon: The chain of large craters (from the bottom) consists of Regiomontanus, Purbach and Thebit.

Jupiter shows Europa in the frame

Scope: WO ZS110 (4.3" APO), with 3X barlow, giving about f23
Camera: DBK 21AU04.AS
