Back Focus Issues

I have a newbie question

I tried my first shoot of the full moon last night through my scope C10-NGT Computerized Telescope, I connected my Canon 40D with my T-piece and then to my 1.25" eyepiece, and found that I could not focus in on the moon.

What length extension tube do I require to achieve this focus?

I then used my Baader Hyperion 8-24 zoom and hooked it up to my camera and was able to achieve enough focus with it to take photo's.
However they were not super sharp, so I guess further experimentaion there.
Basically I was using my Baader Hyperion at 24mm, and can see approx 3/4 of the moon for photographing.

Any ideas, thoughts would be greatly appreciated !!!
