Question Need help with with Stellarvue F80M and QHY5

Hi Everyone,

So last night I connected the 13X80mm Stellarvue finder with the QHY5 and PHD showed nothing on screen.

I tried varying the exposure time in PHD and still nothing. To make sure the camera was working i flashed a light in front of the guidescope and the exposure captures the light.

Confused and slightly worried I decided to connect the QHY5 to the main scope (my 250mm OTA) and I can now see stars with slight focus adjustment.

Now I know not many people may have this combination but I really need help in getting this working before the 16th of Jan. I have a feeling this may be something to do with the length of the CCD device to the correct image erecting prism but really need some help so I can get to the bottom of the problem.

Please help
