I tried a daylight test this afternoon and managed to get a very hazy view on screen which I could not bring to focus. I then tried removing the adapter (as Erick suggested) and managed to bring the image into focus. Then a shower hit and I had to pack up. More testing tomorrow.

One thing I didn't notice in the dark last night is that the switch on the toucam prevents the adapter sitting flush with the Focuser. This is holding the Toucam about 7mm further out than it would otherwise be.
I will do some more testing to determine how far in I need to go.
The Negative Profile adapter may be all that's required.

Thanks for the assistance.
