Not sure how you worked out the camera issues, but I think it's a good first attempt.
Can we see one without the editing?
No idea about the "EV" question... is that a setting on the camera? If so, I suggest you consult the manual.
I have a couple of suggestions, though:
Get a UV filter for your camera, or a Moon filter (basically a blue filter) for your telescope. It cuts the glare somewhat, which helps with that "blooming" effect.
Also: filter or no, avoid photographing the Moon when it is past half-phase. A barely-there sliver of a crescent yields better results, because there's less total light coming at you, and the long shadows really show off the terrain features.

Well I held the camera to up the eyepiece and hoped for the best
, I don't know what EV stands for up it has a bunch of numbers like +2, +1, 0, -1, -2,...
I would look in the manual but the camera 7 years old and the manual lost, but it is a whole 1.2 mp camera (Impressive, I know
) , I thing that might be what caused the blooming effect, but I'm not sure
As for ones without the editing they look like a fuzzy circle, because the camera focuses on the eyepiece not what through it

I suspect that EV = Exposure Value. You might find this useful.

I guess thats what it means than, because I was playing around with it and follow the negative numbers would have darker pictures while positive numbers would have lighter pictures, sometimes a amaze even myself
