No stars...

I went out to Kingaroy this weekend to give my telescope a whirl and had some problems. Excuse my lack of technical knowledge, it was my first time out with a telescope ever.

I have a 12" newtonian reflector and wanted to do some astrophotography. When using an eyepiece (25mm) I could see stars and focus - great. However, when I tried using my DSLR 550D all I got was black (I tried varying ISO's, exp times etc with no avail).

I went T-Ring > Projection Tube > Telescope

What am I missing here? :/ Thanks for your help! I'm still very, very much learning.
