Have you had the guide camera working previously????

Yeah i've had it working with a guidescope previously, but with such a long FL on the RC8 i want to drop the guidescope for the OAG..
Should I try and add another 25mm extension infront of the focuser maybe?

Does this make sense?

That's another problem. I had the focuser racked all the way in and out and still could not get any focus in the guide camera. Still a grey fuzzy screen. I read somewhere that someone else had an issue where their ZWO OAG was not close enough to the end of the imaging train, but I physically cannot move mine closer to the focuser.. Not sure if that applies here but it was so frustrating wasting 5-6 hours trying to get it to work.
