Cant get focus with ED80, Help Required

Hi All

Maybe someone could point my in the right direction when it comes to imaging through my new aquried ED80.
Do i use the Diagonal whith the camera attached to that, or do i just attach the camera directly to the focuser and do it that way.
In my first attempt i used the diagonal, but couldn't get enough travel inwards to get focus, it was on the way but then i ran out of inward movement.
Maybe some one could assist me with this please, and do i need some other attachment to make this all come together.

I am using a Pentax IstD, i have all the necessary fittings (I Think) so why is this not working, have i missed something.

Tracking and guiding is ok, as i do plenty of wide field.

Hope you can assist, Thanks Leon
