Thanks for the tips so far guys.
Mike, I thought I had Jupiter in the field as I could see a big white ball with a black core which drifted off screen.
I will try as you suggested and play around with it in the daylight. At least I will have a better feel for what is being displayed.
Erick, I think I might leave the hacksaw on the shelf at this stage. I could cause untold damage. I didn't think to try a barlow last night but I will give it a go when I try a daylight test. Thanks for the tip on the negative profile adaptors. I wasn't aware such a beast existed. Last night everything fitted nicely. The adaptor screwed nicely onto the toucam and the adaptor fitted nicely into the focuser. I will try and get the chip closer and see what happens.
DJV, Yep, I'm getting the big blurry ball but it remained a big blurry ball regardless of what I did with the focus.
As Homer Simpson once said. "Trying is the first step towards Failing".
