Hi asang2 and welcome to the Sony Users Community.

In normal use the NEX-5 is set for the shutter not to fire unless a lens is attached.

For use with a telescope or non-Sony lens you need to go to Menu -> Setup and set "Release w/o Lens" to 'Enable'.

Very many thanks for the help, that seems to have done the trick, next step the telescope!!
