I will definitely give this a go this afternoon and see if it helps.

You can do a test during the day to see if it’s working, saves wasting clear nights.
I've already tried with an extension tube and it didn't help. It is so strange, if I cover the cap it goes black, and for a quick second after i take my hand away everything is in focus, but then in phd when it re-loops it goes back to the fuzzy screen.
