Unable to focus DSLR with powermate on Newtonian

Hi

i have a astrophotography Newtonian which i picked up the other day (thanks to all for the info and help there) and i was able to focus the DSLR by itself but when i tried to add my teleview 5X powermate to take some close up shots of the moon and jupiter i was unable to focus. The scope comes with an extension for an eyepiece, when i put that in it looked like it was closer to focus. is there anything special i need to do to achieve focus? is it that the distance between the powermate and the DSLR sensor is too big? or do i just need a longer extension?

thanks for the help

Aidan
