To do eyepiece projection put the appropriate eyepiece into the proj. adaptor, attach the adaptor to the T- ring slide the adaptor into the tube that you would normally slide an eyepiece into, and click away,[after
focussing, of course]. Leave the 2" to 1.25" adaptor in it's box.

Hi Raymo,
Thank you that's what I've thought and tried, and can get it close to in focus if I have the focuser all the way in but it seems like it needs to go a little further in to make it focus. That was my query from the start, I cant' understand why I can't get it to focus as soon as I put an eyepiece into it.
I would like to try to get it to focus even though I might not be able to take many photos until I have a goto or similar - something to save up for
