Wont let me shoot using LCD

You need an adapter ring that adapts the camera's lens mount to the telescope eyepiece. Most telescopes use the same size eyepiece, but you should ask the vendor before purchasing to make sure the ring will fit your particular telescope.

There are two modes to the XS's Live View system, selectable via
Custom Function 7. Live View is disabled by default, by the way, so
you'll need to find this menu item in Settings Menu 2 to turn it on.
The two options are called Quick and Live modes. Quick mode works as
most Live View modes do, dropping the mirror when you press the AE-Lock
button (marked with an asterisk) to use the conventional phase-detect
autofocus system. This temporarily blacks out the Live View image,
which makes it impossible to know that you're still framing the subject
and holding your AF point in the proper place.
That's why they added the second mode, which they call Live, but is better
described as contrast-detect autofocus. This works just like a digicam, reading
the image from the imaging sensor while adjusting the lens for the setting that
produces the most contrast in the image. A small square appears in the center
of the image area, and you can move it around with the cross keys. Just like
Quick mode, unfortunately, you have to press the AE-Lock button first until
you hear the focus confirmation beep, then press the shutter button to fire.
It's a little slower at times than phase-detect mode, but it gets the job done.
Live mode is really better for tripod work, where you can place the AF area
right where you want it and confirm focus onscreen.
Both modes offer the ability to zoom in on your live view, excellent for confirming
focus before capture. Using the Magnify button just right of the AE-Lock button,
you can zoom in 5x or 10x, then press the AE-Lock button to focus if you like;
but of course you can't confirm framing in that mode.

Doo, the xs has live view. Hit the menu button, go to the 5 colum, enter Live view function settings. And enable it. That easy!! to use auto focus you hold down the "zoom out." button
p.s. You can always read the manual. :)
Have a good one.

On most cameras somewhere in the settings there is "liveview" but this uses a fair bit of battery power so it is sometimes set to "off".. Your settings to change this may be with the powersaving modes or in some other menu but it sounds as if liveview is off. Im not familiar with your specific camera but a friend of mine had the same problem the other week and this is what it was.

Zooming is done from the lens on a DSLR, assuming you have a zoom lens on the camera. For example, if your camera came with the 18-55mm lens, you should see the numbers 18, 24, 35 and 55 on the lens barrel with a white index line next to one of the numbers. Turn the barrel to move a different number next to the index line. 18mm is wide angle, 55mm is 'zoomed in'.
