Hi Raymo, all good replies above, but as for live view being dark, if it is not already set from factory, go thru the menu and turn the 'Exposure Simulation' on. This should help a little if it was off.
I will say tho that the live view's sensitivity for astro work is limited and I do struggle sometimes to find a star to check focus with.
Also note, sometimes there doesn't appear to be a star on the screen, but if you zoom in to 5x and scan around you sometimes will find one.
