Newbie needs help - focus problem

Hi All
Firstly, thank you for a very informative and interesting forum.
I cannot focus my camera / lens set up on the stars. All I get is noise either using live view, or through the laptop.
I shone my red torch into the scope and I could see the red light in the image, so that says I haven't left a cap on.
I tried during the day and I could focus on a target about 1km away.

Camera settings: I tried full idiot mode, Program mode, Manual mode (30", F00, ISO 3200)

Any ideas?
