Projection Photography Focus Issues

Hello All,

Firstly just wanted to say Hi, very new to Astronomy (4 days), and picked myself up a 10" Saxon Collapsible Dobsonion telescope which I absolutely love already. Saturn and the Moon so far - I will post a Hi in one of the other threads shortly.

So I also picked up a Saxon 1.25" Variable Project Camera Adapter as I'm a very keen photographer and appropriate T-Ring for my Canon 5d. So last night as a bit of practice I setup my scope and could see the moon in all its beauty and then swapped over to the adapter with a 25mm lens inside. All good except I couldn't for the life of me get it to ever focus. I tried extending the tube on the adapter, shrinking, refocusing in many different positions but it would never focus.

Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong here?

Thank you too for any help btw!
