can't focus!!!!!!!!!!!

I am at wits end!
What am I doing wrong?????
Arrrggghhh
Surely it must be something simple.
Skywatcher ED80 Pro (gold tube), SW 28 mm EP and/or 2X barlow.

I just can not focus on Jupiter or the Moon.............
I literally have to take the eye piece out of the focuser or barlow about 10-20 mm to get it to focus at full drawn out focus tube (ie furthermost away from the objective)

The finder scope gives a better picture than the main scope!

Shouldn't this be a plug'n'play situ?

Go on.....tell me I did something stu-pid!

BTW I just bought this scope to compliment my 10" BD SW as a guide scope/ wateva in the future as the price was good!
(maybe I shouldn't have?)
