I could see the moon clear on my camera's screen, but when I clicked the shutter, the picture came out black. the iso was up and all of my settings seemed fine. I had my camera on manual. It's a Nikon d5100. If anyone has any input, I would appreciate it!
First of all for my problem, did you have both the camera lens and the scope eyepiece on? Or was one or both removed.
Your problem, you probably need a low iso.  I don't know your camera but live view  should show if your exposure is correct. If you take the camera lens off, there should be a menu setting no lens or something similar. I hope that helps
