D100 photography

Hi There,
The other night I tried taking photo's of the moon with my D100 attached to my Skywatcher 6". I came acros 2 significant problems and got pretty crap results. this is the second go I've had and no luck.

Problem 1. The image I see when my D100 is attached is smaller than when I just attach the EP.

Problem 2. I can't seem to get it focused. at first i thought it just couldn't get in/out far enough to enter focus but more testing showed it comes more or less into focus and then shifts out of focus when i trun the focus knob.

The set up is: The EP is inserted into the camera adapter, the camera adapter is connected to (wait for it) the camera, just like a lens would, and then the whole assembly is slid into the EP socket(?) on the scope.

Shutter speed is handled manually because the Aperture doesn't function with the adapter in place and not a lens. I use a chord to trigger it to reduce wobble

Any idea's.

thanks
