Warren,
The LPI is mainly designed for imaging the moon and bright planets. The best way to start would be to point it at Jupiter or the moon or a really bright star and ensure you can get focus. If the first image is with the cap on then you have captured the hot pixels and noise. The second image is similar to what I get when it is not focused on an object. Envisage has an autostretch function that amplifies the noise if it can't find a bright object in the field.
