I got this amazingly awesome astronomy binoculars, and I aimed it at the moon, put my digital camera by the eye piece, took a picture, and got one giant white circle.

What do I need to do to take a picture of the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, etc?

Set a longer exposure? Dont use a digital camera?

A telescope and an adapter and an SLR style camera. You may be able to get adapters for binoculars, but I don't know. The most important part is the SLR though, because shitty little point and shoots just can't do what you need for astrophotography.

he said he got a white circle, mine at least has detail, so maybe just play with the settings OP

The moon is lit by the Sun, so you need the same exposure you'd need for a daytime shot.
