You need a visit from a friendly amateur astronomer. Someone relatively local to you will surely respond if you ask. As you describe it, you are not getting the results you should be getting - something is not right, somewhere - but it's hard to identify the problem without getting hands-on. However, we are running into full Moon so galaxies and nebulae are more difficult for a while - but your eyepiece should be full of stars!


And tileys, I was back to front on the previous outfocus/infocus discussion, sorry, but the eyepiece will "follow" the primary mirror - futher out of the focusser, if the mirror is moved up the tube and futher into the focusser if the mirror is moved down the tube.
