hey thnx guys for all the replies.
yes i have taken the silver lense off the ToUcam and have the ccd chip exposed. i have made an adapter with an old camera film and a bit of plastic tube that screws into the camera. I have tried to get an image of Jupiter but I just cant get a clear image. if i move the focusser out, the image just gets larger and the outline of the secondary mirror can be seen. when i move the focusser in as far as it can go, the image gets smaller, but it still needs to go in a tad further to become clear. i think i may need to adjust the primary mirror location as advised below.
