Thanks
Yes, because you weren't connected up to a camera lens, you were at prime focus of the telescope (Nexstar 130, right?), so you can't change aperture.



My advice; if you're shooting the moon, ISO 100 or 200 and if shooting jpgs, use daytime/sunny day white balance.
To get focus right (using 350D no live view), slew over to a medium bright star and focus that through viewfinder, then don't touch focuser again, should be very close to focus.

Just practice and play around with different shutter speeds.
