Blurry Esprit 150

Hello again : )
After around 4 years and limited time to make my 12 inch meade take a sharp photo I gave up . Understanding that I bought the wrong telescope for astrophotography I bought a SW Esprit 150 ed .

I got it on thursday , set it up on thursday night and tested it this morning from the lounge room looking through a very clean window .
I followed the intructions and found out that back focus was 10mm too far away and got a blurry image .

I pulled it apart and re-assembled it for visual observation . I inserted the factory eyepiece , blurry . I then inserted an Explore Scientific 30mm eyepiece and still blurry .

The only thing I can put it down to is heat currents but I really don't know .
Any ideas would be appreciated .
