Am i doing something obviously wrong here. Sorry I cant provide more info then that.

OK have you read the instructions of the telescope, the rack and pinion focuser will have a knob to turn. visually line up the scope with something like a tree in the distance, then turn the focus knob until you can achieve a sharp image, from there you can practice how to focus the scope, then you can try the moon later tonight with a moon filter in place.
