Well I managed to get the focus sorted so much that I was able to make out three of Jupiters moons the other night (16th June)... a rare clear night here in Melbourne... but perfect for me to finally get the focus right... viewed the lovely craters of the moon (some nice dark shadowy contrast around the edges)... then as I mentioned the view of Jupiter with the moons on a 45o angle around it... lovely!
Thanks everyone for your help... figures it would be something simple.
