First images with SPC900NC

Bellbouy,
The attached images are taken with my 4.5" cheapy telescope ($64 on ebay!), a 2 x Barlow and the SPC900NC.
Being such a cheap and nasty piece of equipment, I wouldn't be surprised if the focuser is not in the right position. The image is getting sharper as I wind the focuser in but then I get to the end and the image is still not in focus. Once I use the Barlow I have no problem focusing.

I will take your advise and try it again in daylight to confirm.
