Seeting on a digital camera for astrophotography.

Hi, It's Tom.

I have a 8 mega pixel Canon digital camera (Ixy Digital 910is) http://www.plemix.com/camera-canon-ixy910-camera

To take pictures just as it is from view of the telescope, what kind of settings do I need to set such as brightness and ISO ect? At the moment the planets come out too bright. Such as Jupiter. I can see it's gaseous clouds through telescope but when I take the picture it comes out as bright as a star and can't see any clouds.
So what kind of setting do I need to set?


This is the picture taken by my camera with brightness right down.

Thanks

Tom
