G'Day Hummer,
That is normal
if you are out of focus, yes. But you should be able to focus on a tree 500m away (maybe even down to 30m or so).
Have you adjusted the focus as far as you can both in and out? It should be several to many turns on the focuser from one extreme to the other. How many turns does it take to go from full in to full out?
Some focusers have a locking screw to stop the focuser moving - (one of the two little screws underneath the focuser in astronut's photo above). If you can't move the focuser, or the knobs are hard to turn,or it doesn't move very far, have a look for some small screws (usually with knurled knobs or heads) that might be stopping the focuser from moving.
