Orion starshoot g3 cannot focus

Hi!

My name is Paulo and I'm new here.

I have a skywatcher 10' dobsonian (with goto and tracking) and I tried to use my recent origin g3 deep space color starshoot camera.

The manual says that I shold point to a moderately bright star so I choose The Acrux, which is always visible here in Brazil. The star was very visible in the center of the 30mm eyepice. I remove the eyepice and attached the camera.

all I got was an image of the tube's interior...

I tried removing the 1.25 attachment from both camera and telescope and it stays the same. I tried to move the telescope focuser to min and max, - it has changed a little bit but still shows the tube.

I tried to use a barlow - nope.
I tried to defuse the barlow's lens and use the barlow tube as an extender - the image was closer but it still shows the telescope interior...

I tried to grab the camera and hold with my hand in front of the eyepice and it sills shows the inside of the telescope.

Thanks!
