Quack24 the issue you are having is not enough travel on your focuser to get the image form far enough back to the sensor on the camera.

Basically the answer is to shorten your ota:

...or put a low profile focuser on it:

i have a skywatcher SW680 dobsonian and a Nikon D200. i have the t-ring &t- adapter for the scope. So i can take planetary photos. But for some reason i can not focus on the planet enough. So for example if i am trying to take a photo of Saturn it will just come up with a very fuzzy dot. Is there anything I can do so I can take photos with my dob?
