Hi There,
I'm a complete beginner with regards to Astrophotography. I have a Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Telescope with GPS and all the appropriate eye pieces, the Celestron NexImage Camera with all the appropirate software and a Canon 50D EOS DSLR Camera. I have the T ring and T Connector required to attach the Camera to the Telescope. I've managed to take a couple of still images using the DSLR attached to the telescope with the T ring and Barlow 2X lens and was quite impress with my first attempts.

Jupiter taken 2243 08FEB13.
The last photo is where I begin to have problems with exposure after fiddling with some settings. While I have the sharpness and focus correct, there is no colour definition or visible details of the actual planet like in my first photo.
If anybody is willing to help me out with the best settings to use on my 50D for T ring attached photography, I will forever be in their debt.
Many Thanks in advance,
